New Delhi

Nripendra Misra, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, has decided to step down from the post. While the PM acceded to Misra’s intention to be relieved of his assignment, he was requested to continue for two weeks.

Former Cabinet Secretary PK Sinha, a retired IAS officer of UP cadre, has been appointed Officer on Special Duty (OSD) in the PMO, an official release said today.

The PM wished Misra for his future endeavours. He said Misra served the PMO assiduously and diligently for over five years and made remarkable contribution to country’s growth trajectory.

“Nripendra Misra is among the most outstanding officers, who has a great grasp of public policy and administration. When I was new to Delhi in 2014, he taught me a lot and his guidance remains extremely valuable,” the PM said in a tweet.

In a statement, Misra said it was his privilege to serve the country under PM Modi and that he was deeply grateful to him for this opportunity and complete confidence the PM placed in him.
