Mr. Srivastava, who grew up in Uttar Pradesh and did B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Lucknow University, got selected for IPS at the age of 22 years in 1985 but took the Civil Services Examination again the same year since the goal always was the IAS.

“After writing the Civil Services (Mains) Examination-1985, I joined the IPS training, first at the National Civil Defence College, Nagpur and subsequently at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, Hyderabad, where I trained for approximately seven months before I left the training midway after getting selected for the IAS,” he told Indian Masterminds. 

He got allotted to the Maharashtra cadre of the IAS and came to the state, following completion of his training.

“In Maharashtra, I have served at various places in various positions over the last 35 years. It has been a memorable and enriching journey,” he said.
