Pant replaces Gowda as Chandrapur collector Chandrapur: The state government announced on Thursday that Nagpur additional municipal commissioner Vasumana Pant has been appointed as the new collector of Chandrapur district, replacing Vinay Gowda GC. Gowda, who served as collector since October 2022, will now take up the role of collector in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The government also appointed Ankit, the current Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar ZP CEO, as Pant’s successor in the Nagpur Municipal Corporation. Gowda’s tenure as Chandrapur collector was marked by significant administrative reforms and public service improvements. His leadership contributed to Chandrapur securing the top rank in Maharashtra’s 100-Day Office Reform Campaign, a state initiative aimed at streamlining government operations. Under his guidance, the district also surpassed targets in the Chief Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (CMEGP), achieving 135.38 per cent of its 2024-25 goal. This success highlighted a focus on fostering local entrepreneurship and job creation. Gowda’s efforts in child welfare earned him the Balsnehi Puraskar, an award recognizing the implementation of schemes for children under 14 years. Additionally, the Jiwati taluka, under his administration, received a gold medal from Niti Aayog’s Sampoornta Abhiyan for meeting all key development indicators. These achievements underscored his commitment to holistic development and efficient governance. Pant, who has been serving as Nagpur’s additional municipal commissioner, is credited with enhancing civic services during his tenure.#chhatrapati_sambhajinagar #niti_aayog #chandrapur_district #nagpur_additional_municipal_commissioner #vinay_gowda_gc
