Leena Nandan, an IAS officer from the 1987 Uttar Pradesh cadre, is set to take on an additional role as Secretary in the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Currently serving as Secretary in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Nandan’s new responsibilities come as a result of an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training on June 11th, 2024.

This additional charge is slated to last from June 12th to June 17th, 2024, during the absence of Vumlunmang Vualnam, a fellow IAS officer from the 1992 Manipur cadre.

Nandan’s temporary assignment reflects the administrative strategy to ensure seamless operations within the Ministry of Civil Aviation despite Vualnam’s temporary absence. As an experienced civil servant with a background in environmental affairs, Nandan’s expertise is expected to contribute to the efficient functioning of the ministry during this transitional period.
