Explanation: Former RBI Governor Bimal Jalan is heading the committee that was formed by the Union Government to select the next Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) in the Finance Ministry. This committee was constituted two months after it sought applications for the post. Apart from Jalan, secretary of the Department of Personnel and Training C. Chandramouli and Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg are the other two members of the committee. Arvind Subramanian resigned from his post before his tenure ended in May 2019 citing personal reasons. He has since joined as a visiting professor at Harvard University.
