Former CBDT Chief likely to be new CVC

By Vijay Kumar

IT is reported that the former CBDT Chairman Mr. KV Chowdary is tipped to be the new Central Vigilance Commissioner. If it comes through, he will not only be the first IRS officer, but also the first non-IAS officer to be the CVC. Some years ago I suggested to a Chairman of CBEC (who was known for his impeccable integrity) that he should apply for the post of CVC. He told me, "no no, that is for the IAS"
