1. Who has been appointed as the new Managing Director (MD) of the National Agriculture Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (NAFED)?
The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has appointed Deepak Agarwal, a 2000-batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer from the Uttar Pradesh cadre, as the Managing Director of NAFED for a term of five years. This decision brings stability to NAFED's leadership, which temporarily had Pankaj Kumar Bansal from the Ministry of Cooperation in the role. Agarwal's extensive experience in public administration, particularly in the agricultural and cooperative sectors, positions him to lead NAFED in strengthening agricultural marketing and supporting India's agricultural sector.
