Barsar. Rajendra Gautam, the Sub-Divisional Officer (Civil) in Barsar, had a remarkable tenure. An officer with an honest and gentle demeanor, Rajendra Gautam’s tenure in Barsar was marked by golden letters. He performed his duties in a coordinated manner and the construction of the Barsar Mini Secretariat was completed during his tenure. The Chief Minister inaugurated the Mini Secretariat on October 24, 2025, just a month before he was transferred to Sarkaghat. His tenure as the Chairman of the Baba Balak Nath Trust was also commendable. It was a significant historical moment when a scam occurred at the Baba Balak Nath Temple. He played a key role in filing a case against the accused with impartiality. His transparent approach to appointments at the Baba Balak Nath Temple is also considered significant. Similarly, he carried forward the work of the Baba Balak Nath Trust in a transparent manner. A project worth ₹68 crore was started at the Baba Balak Nath Temple during his tenure. His tenure will be remembered for the numerous improvements he made at the temple, but some Congress party leaders were not happy with his image and work style. He made efforts to stop corruption at the Baba Balak Nath Temple, and he was successful. Hearty congratulations and best wishes to him for his stellar tenure. He previously served as the Block Development Officer (BDO) in Sarkaghat.
