Vishnu Sahay (22 November 1901 – 3 April 1989)[1][2] was a former ICS officer and Cabinet Secretary of India who served as Governor of Assam and Nagaland following his retirement.
Sahay was the elder brother of Bhagawan Sahay, also an ICS officer and a former Governor of Kerala and Himachal Pradesh.[3] Vishnu Sahay studied at the SM College, Chandausi and at the Oxford University.[4][5] He was a member of the 1925 batch of the ICS, passing the exams on 16 October of that year.[6] Somewhat unusually, he was never awarded any of the honours which a civilian of his long service would have normally received.
