Tripura govt extends retired IAS officer Pradeep Kumar Chakravarty’s tenure

Agartala: The Government of Tripura has approved a six-month extension of contractual re-employment for Pradeep Kumar Chakravarty, IAS (Retired), with effect from August 8, 2025.

This is the fourth extension granted to him since his retirement from regular service.

The extension comes in view of the continuing shortage of experienced senior-level officers in the state administration.

Chakravarty will continue to serve as Secretary to the Government of Tripura and will retain charge of the following departments: Education (Youth Affairs & Sports), Information & Cultural Affairs, and General Administration (Confidential & Cabinet). He will also continue as Secretary to the Chief Minister of Tripura until further orders.

The decision was formalised through a government notification issued on July 8, 2025, signed by Jai Datta, Under Secretary to the Government of Tripura. It is a continuation of the earlier Notification No. F.35(53)-GA(P&T)/90(P-I) dated May 13, 2025.
