Arun K Sarangi takes charge as OPSC chairman

Arun Kumar Sarangi, former Odisha DGP, assumed the position of chairperson of the Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) in Cuttack on Tuesday. He took on this new role after voluntarily retiring from the Indian Police Service (IPS). His last position was as the director of the Biju Patnaik State Police Academy. Sarangi was appointed as the chairperson of OPSC by the state government in September. “My priority will be maintaining transparency in the conduct of examinations for recruitment to various government jobs. I will miss the uniform a lot,” the 1990-batch IPS officer told PTI. He took charge of OPSC chairperson on October 8, 2024. He will serve for six years or until he reaches the age of 62, whichever comes first, according to a notification issued by the General Administration Department. Upon taking charge, Sarangi advised aspirants to remain vigilant against individuals who promise government jobs in exchange for money. Highlighting the OPSC’s rich legacy of 75 years, Sarangi emphasized his commitment to transparency in the selection process and to enhancing training initiatives. None
