On Monday, Mangesh Gondavale took the helm as the new collector of Gondia district in eastern Maharashtra. The 2015-batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer received the reins from Officiating Additional Collector Bhaiyasaheb Behre during a brief ceremony at the Collectorate.

Replacing Prajit Nair, Gondavale, who previously served as Managing Director of Maharashtra Agriculture Industrial Development Corporation (MAIDC), outlined his priorities to the media. His agenda is clear: prioritize the welfare of Gondia's residents and spearhead industrial growth in the district.

With experience in economics and the GST department, Gondavale is poised to leverage Gondia's tribal-majority demographics and over 51% forest coverage for developmental goals. This appointment marks his first posting in Vidarbha, following extensive service in Marathwada and Mumbai.
