The number of Indian origin top position holders in the administration of the new US President Joe Biden is swelling daily . Two more Indian-American experts in public service have been appointed to key positions at AmeriCorps, the federal agency for volunteering and service. Sonali Nijhawan has been named Director of AmeriCorps State and National, and 42-year-old Sri Preston Kulkarni as the new Chief of External Affairs. According to the release by AmeriCorps, Kulkarni`s appointment, along with Nijhawan and Dan Kohl, reflects the Biden administration`s commitment to diverse leadership.
