Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Rachna Shah, additional secretary with the department of commerce now, will officially take charge as secretary in the ministry of textile on November 1 after the present secretary UP Singh retires on October 31. Textile minister Piyush Goyal recently introduced Shah to export promotions councils (EPCs) during a videoconference.

Shah is a Kerala cadre IAS of the 1991 batch.

Goyal asked Shah to visit various textile hubs like Surat, Noida, Tiruppur-Coimbatore and assess applications proposed under the PM MITRA scheme around these hubs by taking feedback from industry representatives, an official release said.

The virtual meeting was convened with senior representatives of the 11 EPCs and representatives of industry associations like the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry, the Tiruppur Exporters Association and the Southern India Mills' Association.
