Sanjay Jaju | Hyderabad, June 30 (Maxim News) : Senior IAS officer Sanjay Jaju on Tuesday assumed charge as the new Chief Secretary of Telangana at the State Secretariat. He succeeds A. Ramakrishna Rao, who retires from service today after completing his tenure as the state’s top bureaucrat.
The Telangana government recently issued orders appointing Sanjay Jaju as the new Chief Secretary. His appointment marks the beginning of a new administrative phase, as he is expected to remain in office until February 2029.
A 1992-batch IAS officer, Sanjay Jaju brings more than three decades of administrative experience. He started his career as the Sub Collector of Vijayawada. Later, he served in several key positions in the undivided Andhra Pradesh.
He worked as the District Collector of West Godavari. In addition, he served as Additional Commissioner and later Commissioner of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). He also held the post of Commissioner of the Civil Supplies Department and earned recognition for administrative reforms.
After the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, Jaju moved to Central deputation. Since then, he has served in several important ministries of the Government of India. His experience at both the state and central levels is expected to strengthen governance in Telangana.
