Former IPS officer R N Ravi was sworn in as the 22nd Governor of West Bengal at a ceremony held at Lok Bhavan in Kolkata on Thursday morning. The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court, Sujoy Paul.
The ceremony was attended by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee, senior minister and Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim, and Left Front chairman Biman Bose. Several senior bureaucrats, including Chief Secretary Nandini Chakravorty and senior police officials, were also present during the swearing-in event.
However, no leader from the opposition BJP camp was present at the programme. Ravi was appointed as the Governor of West Bengal following the resignation of his predecessor C V Ananda Bose on March 5.
Born in Patna, Ravi joined the Indian Police Service in 1976 after a brief stint as a journalist and later served in key positions in the Central Bureau of Investigation and Intelligence Bureau. He previously held gubernatorial positions in Nagaland, Meghalaya and Tamil Nadu and also served as deputy National Security Advisor before entering constitutional office.
