This news tells us about what the Indian government and its officers are doing in 2026.

Many senior officers, called IAS, IPS and IRS officers, have been given new jobs and promotions.

New secretaries were chosen for education, corporate affairs, youth affairs, and water resources, and a new chief secretary for Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

The Congress party, with Rahul Gandhi leading its student meetings, is holding 'Chhatron ki Goonj' programmes in states run by the BJP.

The Ministry of External Affairs is making a plan to look after nearly nine million Indians who work in Gulf countries.

In Madhya Pradesh, police are going digital, using tablets and online systems to manage investigations and evidence.

Delhi circles say the Jharkhand government, led by Hemant Soren, did not explain its side of the student protest story well.

Thirteen tax officers got higher ranks, three officers became Joint Directors of the CBI, and railway firms like IRCTC and Konkan Railway are hunting for new leaders.

These changes show how the government keeps filling important jobs while trying to modernize how it works.
