      Career


      Khemka belongs to the 1991 batch IAS of the Haryana Cadre. He has been repeatedly transferred by various state governments in his home cadre of Haryana after he exposed corruption in the departments he was posted to.
      Khemka was posted as Secretary to the Govt. of Haryana, Department of Archives and Archaeology on 4 April 2013. He was also given the charge of DG Archives and Archaeology on 26 April 2013. This was his 45th posting in his 20-year career excluding his 2-year training period. In the previous month, he had exposed a deal that he thought to be untoward and had requested an inquiry by the CBI. The government of Haryana refused to investigate this and a Bhiwani-based NGO filed PIL on the same scam. On 18 October 2013, CBI registered a preliminary enquiry into the alleged irregularities in the purchase of wheat seeds in HSDC, seeking registration of a case against officials of the National Cooperative Consumers Federation and the National Agriculture Cooperative Marketing Federation for selling seeds at inflated prices to HSDC.
      Khemka was previously the Managing Director in Haryana Seeds Development Corporation.
