The appointment was made official through a notification issued by the General Administration and Public Grievance Department. Mishra, who is widely recognized for his administrative acumen and deep understanding of financial matters, will continue to hold his existing crucial responsibilities as the Principal Secretary, Finance Department, and also Chairman, Industrial Development Corporation of Odisha (IDCO). This dual responsibility highlights the government’s confidence in his capabilities and his pivotal role in steering the State’s financial health and industrial growth. Mishra is a seasoned bureaucrat from the 1996 batch of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). His career has seen him hold several key positions within the Odisha government.
