Chandigarh — The Government of Haryana has appointed seven IAS officers of the 2023 batch to the position of Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) across various districts in the state. The appointments were announced shortly after the officers completed their foundational training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), Mussoorie.

According to official instructions issued by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, the postings are part of routine administrative procedures aimed at integrating new officers into field responsibilities at the sub-divisional level.

List of Appointed Officers and Postings

The seven newly appointed SDMs and their respective postings are:

  • Ankita Panwar – SDM, Nuh
  • Aniruddha Yadav – SDM, Narnaul; also appointed as Deputy CEO and Deputy Managing Director of the Haryana Multimodal Logistics Hub Project Ltd
  • Abhinav Sivach – SDM, Pehowa
  • Akash Sharma – SDM, Tohana
  • Kanika Goyal – SDM, Mahendragarh
  • Yogesh Saini – SDM, Charkhi Dadri
  • Ravi Meena – SDM, Tosham

These field-level postings are considered a crucial first step in the practical administrative journey of IAS officers, where they gain hands-on experience in governance, public service delivery, revenue administration, and law and order.

Background & Administrative Importance

  • Early leadership roles: Assigning young IAS officers as SDMs provides them with critical on-ground exposure early in their careers. SDMs act as the key link between the district administration and the public.
  • Addressing cadre shortages: Haryana currently has around 166 IAS officers, which is significantly short of its sanctioned strength of 215. Timely appointments of new officers help ease the burden on the existing cadre.
  • Infrastructure and logistics push: With officers like Aniruddha Yadav being given additional responsibilities in key logistics projects, the government signals its focus on infrastructure-led development and industrial facilitation.
