CBEC Gets Two More Women Members

Two more lady members have joined the CBEC. The New entrants are Mala Srivastava and Joy Kumar Chander who joined the Board on 1 January from Chennai and Bangalore where they were Chief Commissioners. The CBEC continues as an All Woman Board but for Kushal Srivastava, the lone representative of the males. The All Woman trend in the Board will peter off in 2014 following retirement of the ladies and the return of men to the top of the seniority list.

In 2015, CBEC will turn into an All Men show after an interim of three years or so. Only one woman, Deepa Dasgupta, will survive till Sept 2015.

The Board will see many changes in the year ahead. The current Chairman Parveen Mahajan retires at the end of this month at which point Shanti Sundaram takes over. She will hold the post for nine months till end October.

The Board Chairman after Shanti Sundaram should be Kushal Srivastava who retires in July 2015 after heading the organisation for nine months.

Next in queue is the long distance runner Najeeb Shah. If all goes well, he will head the Board for about two years after Kushal Srivastava till March 2017.
