Prashant Dubey appointed as Deputy Secretary, Consumer Affairs

Prashant Dubey (2012 batch IDAS) has been appointed Deputy Secretary in the Department of Consumer Affairs under the Central Staffing Scheme. This move places a defence-accounts-trained officer in a key consumer-affairs role, potentially strengthening regulatory oversight and fiscal discipline. He will take up the assignment immediately, relieving him from his prior posting. The appointment reflects continuing reshuffle and staffing adjustments within central government services in late 2025.
