1990 batch IPS officer and former In-Charge DGP Arun Kumar Sarangi on Tuesday took charge as the new chairman of Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC). On October 5, the Odisha government had allowed Sarangi to take voluntary retirement from government service.
Sarangi was accorded a grand farewell by his colleagues and today he assumed office as the OPSC chairman. While talking to reporters, Sarangi said that it was a tough moment to shed the police uniform that he wore in the long service period of 33 years as it was his identity.
On his new role as OPSC chairman, Sarangi said that it is equally a challenging duty and will try to perform it with much dedication. The new OPSC chairman also stated that bringing transparency in the selection process would be his top priority.

Advice For Aspirants
OPSC Chairman Arun Sarangi today advised aspirants to remain vigilant especially whenever anybody approaches them saying that they would provide jobs in lieu of money.
“I will discharge my duties with dedication. The motto of OPSC is transparency and it has a rich legacy of 75 years. I will try to bring transparency in the selection process and focus on training as well. I also urge aspirants not to fall into the traps as it is also a medium to cheat aspirants. OPSC has already taken a number of reform measures. Hence, conducting recruitment exams on time and transparency in the selection process will be given prominence as aspirants work hard to prepare for the recruitment examinations, said Sarangi.
