Madan Mohan's new post as joint director (I) under Samagra Shiksha, B. Venkata Narasamma in the office of the director of schools, and E. Vijaya Lakshmi taking on the regional school education joint director role in Warangal.
Key Realignments
The government also addressed senior deputy directors and district educational officers with the aim to streamline operations at various levels:
- P. Revathi Reddy moved from TET Cell's deputy director position to model school deputy directorship.

- Office moves include Venkatehwarlu and Yadaiah's transfers from Sangareddy and Mancherial, respectively, with both landing in Hyderabad positions as district educational officers.
These changes were part of GO 38 issued by the finance department on April 21 and supplemented by a government memo dated May 20. The process was handled first at the directorate level for assistant directors and deputy educational officers, followed by higher-level approvals for district educational officers and other senior posts.
