BIG BOSS | secretary, textiles | rita menon
Even a first-time meeting with Rita Menon, Secretary, Textiles is imbued with a sense of camaraderie. The 1975-batch IAS officer from the Uttar Pradesh cadre is informal, witty and extremely knowledgeable about her Ministry. Originally from Old Delhi, she is a postgraduate in economics from Delhi School of Economics. Before joining the IAS, she was a lecturer at Miranda College for two years. She has worked with the Ministries of Health, Finance and Defence at the Centre.
