While the Modi government ‘booted’ Additional Director General Indu Bhushan, a Rajasthan cadre IPS of 1989 batch, the central government has rewarded an ex Rajasthan Cadre IAS officer, also named Indu Bhushan. The 1983 batch IAS officer, who took voluntary retirement in 1997, has been called back by Modi government to helm the ambitious health project - Ayushman Bharat National Health Protection Mission (ABNHPM) as its CEO. Indu Bhushan, during his stint in Rajasthan as IAS officer between 1983 and 1992, has various posts including Deputy Secretary in Mines and Agriculture departments. A doctorate in Economics and also a Master of health Sciences from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Indu Bhushan first joined the World Bank (1994-96) before moving to ADB. The mission which was approved officially in a cabinet meeting is claimed to be one of the biggest healthcare schemes.
