Chief Secretary designate Kewal Kumar Sharma is no stranger to Goa. We would now have our very own son-in-law as the Chief Secretary of the State. K.K.Sharma, a 1983- batch IAS officer of the AGMUT cadre was first posted in Goa as Deputy Collector at Margao, a post he held from 1st August 1985 to 1st June 1987. It is when he met his life partner to be Ninette Vas who was then a practicing lawyer in Margao.
A decade later Kewal Sharma was once again posted in Goa as Revenue Secretary from 1st March 1997 to 7th October 1999. Kewal Sharma who is currently advisor to the Chandigarh Administrator is due to retire on 28th February 2018. With Goa’s new Chief Secretary having deep roots here, the longstanding aspiration of Goans for Special Status may just get the much needed push.
