VIJAYAWADA: Retired IPS officer A R Anuradha assumed her duties as the Chairperson of the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) on Thursday at the commission's office in Vijayawada.
APPSC Secretary administered her oath of office during the ceremony. Board members, officials, and staff extended their congratulations to Anuradha on her new role.
Following her swearing-in, Anuradha reviewed pending recruitments under the commission's purview, including Group 1 and Group 2 exams, and discussed upcoming recruitment exams and interviews.
Anuradha, a 1987 batch IPS officer, has served as SP and IG in various districts of the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. She was notably the first woman IPS officer to head the Intelligence Department in the state. She also held the position of Director General, Vigilance and Enforcement.
