As on February 10, 2025, who is the Chairman (officiating) of the Rajasthan…

The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) is a constitutional body, established under Article 315 of the Constitution of India, that conducts recruitment examinations and selects candidates for civil services and posts under the State of Rajasthan. The Commission is normally headed by a full-time Chairman; when that post falls vacant, the Governor designates one of the sitting Members of the Commission to hold the officiating (or acting) charge of Chairman until a new full-time Chairman is appointed.

As on February 10, 2025, the officiating charge of the RPSC Chairman was held by Sh. Kailash Chand Meena, a 2005-batch Rajasthan-cadre IAS officer who had earlier served as Divisional Commissioner, Jodhpur. He was appointed a Member of the Commission on October 9, 2023; when the previous full-time Chairman's tenure ended on August 1, 2024, the Governor gave him additional charge as officiating Chairman from August 6, 2024, and he continued to hold this charge until a new full-time Chairman was later appointed. This matches the official RSSB Patwar-2025 (Shift 1) answer key, which records the same option as correct.

Among the four names listed as options, only one held the officiating Chairman's charge on the stated date; the remaining three were Members of the Commission but did not hold that additional charge on February 10, 2025:

• Lt. Col. (retd) Kesari Singh Rathore - a retired Army officer who joined the Commission as a Member in 2023; not holding the officiating Chairman's charge on the stated date.

• Dr. Manju Sharma - a Member of the Commission since October 2020, formerly an Associate Professor of Geography at a government college in Bharatpur; not holding the officiating Chairman's charge on the stated date.

• Sh. Kailash Chand Meena - the Member who held the officiating Chairman's charge on the stated date (the correct answer).

• Dr. Sangeeta Arya - a Member of the Commission since October 2020, formerly an Assistant Professor in the College Education Department; not holding the officiating Chairman's charge on the stated date.

Hence, the correct answer is Sh. Kailash Chand Meena.
