Dr Rajesh is state school edu board Chairman
The state government appointed Dr Rajesh Sharma from Kangra as the Chairman of the Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education on Saturday.
Dr Sharma, a doctor by profession, had contested the 2022 Vidhan Sabha elections as the Congress candidate for the Dehra Assembly constituency in Kangra district.
