Anil Mukim

Anil Mukim is a senior civil servant in the Government of India, holding the position of Joint Secretary, Department of Commerce & Industry in New Delhi. He was the municipal commissioner of the city of Ahmedabad, in the state of Gujarat, India until early 2006,[1] overseeing reforms to electronic service delivery via improvements to government information technology networks.[2]

Mukim was a 1985 batch IAS officer. His first posting was as Sub Divisional Magistrate in Bhuj, the headquarters of Kutch district, between 1986-89. He was appointed district collector of Vadodara in 1998, and targeted taxation and administrative reform[3] and a crackdown on illegal land grabs.[4]

As district collector of Kutch during the 2001 Gujarat earthquake,[1] Mukim oversaw the early delivery of aid and equipment to affected villages but then called for further aid deliveries to cease as they encouraged a "relief mentality" which would delay a return to normal life.[5] He has lectured on crisis management for the corporate sector, and the economic benefits of India's Special Economic Zones,[6] and is Chairman of the government-sponsored Sports Goods Export Promotion Council which assists in export marketing for Indian-made sports apparel and equipment.[7]

He is the father of two daughters by the name of Priyanka and Prashansa.
