Understanding the AGMUT Cadre

Understanding the AGMUT Cadre

The AGMUT cadre represents a unique administrative grouping. The acronym expands to Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram, and Union Territories. Officers in this cadre serve across diverse geographies, including Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. 

For instance, Shri Chetan Bhushan Sanghi (1988 Batch) serves as the Financial Commissioner for the Government of NCT of Delhi at Pay Level 17. Similarly, Dr. Pawan Kotwal (1994 Batch) holds the position of Chief Secretary, UT of Ladakh.

Is the Civil List Updated Annually?
