The Personnel Department of the Government of Assam, through an order issued by the Governor, promoted Devajit Das, Secretary of the Public Works Roads Department (PWRD) of the Government of Assam, to the post of Commissioner and Special Secretary of the Public Works Department (Roads and National Highways) on 7th November.
In the order signed by Simanta Kumar Das, Secretary of the Personnel Department, it is mentioned that the order will be effective from the date of his joining the new post.
It may be noted that Devajit Das, known as a meritorious student in his early days, started his career as an Assistant Engineer in the erstwhile PWD, now Public Works Department, in 1996 and on the basis of his qualification, efficiency and experience, was promoted to Chief Engineer, after which the Government of Assam appointed him as Secretary of the department and now promoted him to the very important post of Commissioner and Special Secretary.
Engineers of the department have expressed hope that this new appointment of Devajit Das, who has extensive experience in his nearly 30-year service career in construction, reconstruction and repair of various important bridges, roads in remote and hilly areas from Sadiya to Dhubri under the PWD, will strengthen the department. Similarly, along with performing his duties as Secretary, he is also associated with various socio-cultural organizations.
