GC Chaturvedi, who has been working as Special Director General (Finance and Accounts) in the Organizing Committee of the Commonwealth Games, has been made petroleum secretary in place of S Sundareshan . Chaturvedi, a 1977 batch UP cadre IAS with degree in finance from London School of Economics, UK was found to be the right bet to steer the sensitive ministry. It will be a tough job for Chaturvedi as the crude oil above $100 a barrel has become a norm than an aberration.
As an additional secretary, he headed the financial services department of the finance ministry when Arun Ramanathan retired as finance secretary about three years ago.
