New Delhi, Aug 17 : NITI Aayog on Monday welcomed Anurag Jain as its new Chief Executive Officer, marking his appointment to one of the key positions in the government’s policy think tank.
A 1989-batch IAS officer of the Madhya Pradesh cadre, Jain brings nearly four decades of experience in public administration, governance and policymaking. Over the course of his career, he has held several important positions at both the state and central levels.

Jain has previously served as the Chief Secretary of Madhya Pradesh. At the Centre, he has held the position of Secretary in the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and also served as Secretary in the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
His extensive experience in infrastructure, industrial policy, administration and economic development is expected to add further depth to NITI Aayog’s work on policy formulation and implementation.

The appointment was approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), according to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).
