The Public Sector Enterprise Selection Board (PESB) on Friday selected Rajiv Kumar Singh, Deputy Director General (Army), for the post of Managing Director, North Eastern Handicrafts & Handloom Development Corporation (NEHHDC); a post that has been lying vacant for over four years.

Even though Singh was the sole aspirant for the top job in a relatively low profile Central PSU but this is something being seen as public-sector head-hunter’s resolve to address the pendency with pace; else what explains such a long due vacancy in a CPSE that nurtures and nourishes the labor-intensive sector of handlooms and handicrafts of the North-east region?
