IAS officer Rahul Dwivedi posted as Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan project director

Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Rahul Dwivedi, who had unearthed a Vyapam-like examination scam during the former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ tenure, was on Tuesday appointed as the state project director of Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan in Mumbai. Dwivedi, during his tenure as the Ahmednagar collector, had submitted a report on the irregularities in the examinations held for lower category posts in the state government. Last week, he was relieved from his post as the district collector and has now been given a new posting. Dwivedi’s posting coincides with the state government’s move to conduct a probe into the alleged scam. The state Revenue Department sources told the Free Press Journal that Dwivedi exposed alleged irregularities in the examinations held for the recruitment of Class C personnel from the department. The examination was conducted by MahaPariksha portal.
