First Dalit women IAS Officer named Karnataka chief secretary
After Appointing a Women IPS Officer as state police chief for the First time last month, the congress Government in Karnataka on Tuesday named a 1981- Batch Women IAS officer as Chief secretary. Ratna Prabha, 59 a Dalit will be the third woman to be the chief Secretary of Karnataka. Prabha was appointed chief secretary on Tuesday with Kuntia due to retire at the end of the month. Last year, amid reports of heavy lobbying for the top bureaucratic Post, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was accused by the opposition of overlooking Prabha and appointing the Low-profile Kuntia who was in Delhi in the central Government since 2012. Prabha, who served many years as secretary for Information technology in the Erstwhile Andhra Pradesh Government before returning to Karnataka a few years Ago, had last year post out in the running for the chief secretary post to her batchmate Subhash Chandra Kuntia.
