Atul Chaturvedi an IAS of 1986 batch from Assam And Meghalaya cadre is appointed as the Secretary of Department of Animal Husbandry (AH) and Dairying, Ministry of Fisheries, AH and Dairy GOI. He has taken the charge from Tarun Shridhar an IAS of 1984 batch from Himachal Pradesh cadre on his superannuation on 31st July.
Atul Chaturvedi has done Masters in Zoology from Delhi University and joined the IAS in 1986. He has vast experience having being served as the first CEO of the Assam State Disaster Management Authority in Assam. At the Central level he served with Ministry of Social justice and Empowerment, Ministry of Sports, Ministry of Tourism and Planning Commission to name the few.
Before his appointment as the Secretary AH & Dairying, Atul Chaturvedi was serving as Additional Secretary in the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion under Ministry of Commerce and worked on the facilitation of the Foreign Direct Investment and ambitious Make in India project.
With the formation of a separate Ministry for Fishery, AH & Dairying which was until recently with the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, the Modi Sarkar 2.0 has clearly laid down its priorities and recognised the AH sector at par with the Agricultural Sector as an important contributor in the country’s GDP. Appointment of vastly experienced Officer in the form of Atul Chaturvedi shows the commitment and vision of the Government in making the AH a commercially vibrant sector.
Pashudhan Praharee congratulates Atul Chaturvedi on his accession to the post of Secretary AH and hopes that his vision and mission would take AH and Dairying to the new heights.
