The Gujarat Government is set to ring in the new year with a major administrative upgrade, promoting five IAS officers from the 1996 batch to the rank of Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) on January 1, 2026. This elevation marks a significant career milestone for these senior bureaucrats, moving them into the highest tier of the state’s administrative hierarchy. The move is expected to be followed by a departmental reshuffle, placing these officers in key leadership roles to drive the state’s strategic development and governance agendas.
