The Department of Personnel issued the transfer and posting orders on Tuesday, with the new assignments coming into effect immediately.

The reshuffle follows directions from the State Election Commission regarding officers who have completed three years at the same posting or are serving in their home districts.

183 RAS Officers Transferred

The large-scale reshuffle covers officers posted across several districts, departments, development authorities and local bodies.

Several officers have been assigned new responsibilities as Sub-Divisional Magistrates (SDMs), Additional District Magistrates (ADMs) and other key administrative positions.

Among the prominent names in the transfer list is Yogesh Kumar Srivastava, a 2008-batch RAS officer who was serving as Officer on Special Duty (OSD) in Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma’s office.

Srivastava has now been appointed General Manager of Ganganagar Sugar Mills Limited at Jaipur.

The state government has also reassigned officers who were serving in their home districts, in line with the State Election Commission’s directions.

Pinky Meena Transferred Again

Senior RAS officer Pinky Meena has also been transferred in the latest reshuffle. This is her second transfer in two months.

Meena has been appointed Assistant Collector (Headquarters) in Dausa. She was earlier serving as Assistant Director in the Department of Administrative Reforms and Coordination in Sawai Madhopur.

Other officers whose postings have been changed include Mahavir Kharadi, Ashok Kumar IV, Naresh Bunkar, Rajveer Singh Chaudhary, Ashok Kumar Sharma, Alok Jain, Akash Ranjan, Jagdish Prasad Gaur, Rajkumar Kaswa and Om Prakash Saharan.

Reshuffle Ahead of Local Body Elections

The administrative changes come as Rajasthan prepares for elections to its urban local bodies and Panchayati Raj institutions.

With the Model Code of Conduct expected to come into force soon, the government is working to position the administrative machinery ahead of the polls.

The transfers are aimed at preventing prolonged postings and potential administrative influence during the electoral process while ensuring that key positions are staffed before the elections.

An IAS transfer list is also expected in the coming days as part of the government’s broader exercise to streamline the administration ahead of the polls.

The latest RAS reshuffle is among the major administrative changes undertaken in Rajasthan ahead of the upcoming local body elections.
