According to an official order issued by the ACC, Lokhande, a 2001-batch AGMUT cadre IAS officer, will serve as Additional Secretary in the Department of Home, Ministry of Home Affairs, and concurrently hold the additional charge of CBSE Chairperson. The order states that this arrangement will continue until a regular Chairperson is appointed or until further orders are issued, whichever is earlier.
The latest notification revises the appointment made by the Central government in June, when Lokhande had been appointed as the full-time Chairperson of CBSE. Under the revised order, his role at the school education board has been redesignated as an additional charge, alongside his new responsibilities in the Ministry of Home Affairs.
This change ensures that the CBSE continues to function without disruption while the government initiates the process of appointing a regular Chairperson. Lokhande will oversee the board’s administrative and academic functions during the interim period.
The Central Board of Secondary Education, which functions under the Ministry of Education, is India’s largest school education board. It conducts the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations, affiliates more than 30,000 schools in India and abroad, and plays a significant role in implementing national education policies and examination reforms.
