Khan has more than three decades of administrative experience at CIDCO, spanning urban development, systems management and policy implementation. A civil engineer with management and legal qualifications, he has been associated with technology-led administrative reforms and e-governance initiatives. He will take charge next week, and will be based at the waqf board headquarters at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
