He is headed to Delhi to join as Member (Administration) in the newly created Capacity Building Commission also known as ‘Mission Karmayogi’ to train civil servants at all levels.

“Pardeshi’s appointment is for three years in the Capacity Building Capacity and, in that case, he may have to take VRS. Alternatively, Pardeshi, may be in service till December 2021 and then continue in post retirement appointment,” said the bureaucrat.
