New Delhi, Jun 10 : A recommendation by former HRD Minister Arjun Singh for the appointment of CBSE chairperson has been sent back to the ministry by DoPT which has asked it to get the name approved by the new Minister Kapil Sibal.
"We have received a letter from Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), saying that the name for the post should get clearance from the present HRD Minister. Now it will be sent to the minister for his consideration," ministry sources said.
The HRD Ministry had earlier recommended Pragya Srivastava's name for the top post.
Srivastava, an IPS officer, is serving as a Joint Commissioner in charge of administration in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangthan.
The HRD Ministry had earlier set up a search committee for selection of CBSE chairperson. The committee had suggested three names. However, Singh recommended the name of Srivastava, who is said to be his friend, for the job.
The DoPT had later sought certain clarifications about the recommendation of Srivastava's name.
As the DoPT has sought fresh approval from the minister, the appointment of a new chairperson for the country's premier school board is set to be delayed further.
