New R&AW, IB chiefs to be announced soon
The Sunday Guardian
|April 17, 2022
India's external and internal intelligence gathering agencies, the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) respectively, are going to see new heads, the shortlisting process for which has begun.
The tenure of the present R&AW chief, Samant Goel, a 1984 Punjab cadre IPS officer, ends on 30 June. Goel, who took over the reins of R&AW in June 2019, had got an extension of one year in May 2021, just days before his two-year fixed tenure ended. Same was done in the case of IB chief Arvind Kumar, also a 1984 batch IPS officer of Assam-Meghalaya cadre, who was appointed as IB chief in June 2019 before being given a one-year extension in June 2021.
As per convention, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet—the topmost body of government of India that finalizes appointments of top few posts of the country comprising the Prime Minister and the Home Minister starts working on a suitable replacement for these two crucial posts well in advance.
