The Tamil Nadu government on Sunday appointed senior IAS officer P. Senthil Kumar as Secretary-I to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, following his tenure as Secretary of the Health and Family Welfare Department. The order was issued on May 10, 2026, marking a key administrative reshuffle in the state secretariat.
IAS officer G. Laxmi Priya has been named Secretary-II to the Chief Minister, transferring from her previous role as Secretary of the Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department. Both appointments are effective immediately, as confirmed by the state's Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department.
The changes align with routine bureaucratic rotations after the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections and reflect staffing adjustments in the Chief Minister's Office. The appointments are part of the standard administrative reorganization following the formation of the new government.
