President administers oath to his own Secretary as CVC

Probably for the first time in the history of President Secretariat, the President has administered the oath of office to his own Secretary, Sanjay Kothari as Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC). Kothari, a 1978 batch retired IAS officer of Haryana cadre, was Secretary to President of India before joining as CVC. Incidentally, the new Secretary to the President, K D Tripathi, himself sought permission for his predecessor Sanjay Kothari  from the President  to start oath taking ceremony in the Rashtrapati Bhawan.
