Palamu DC Dilip Pratap Singh Shekhawat, emphasis on taking the schemes to the last person

In Palamu district, Dilip Pratap Singh Shekhawat took charge as District Magistrate cum Deputy Commissioner in April 2026. According to the information available on the district website, he is a 2019 batch IAS officer.

After assuming charge, priority was laid to deliver government schemes to the last person in the district. Monitoring of schemes in a large and geographically diverse district like Palamu is a big challenge for the administration.

People are hopeful that there will be an increase in services like resolution of public problems, pension-ration, health, education and drinking water at the block level.
