In a rare move, IAS officer Utsav Anand has opted to change his Uttar Pradesh cadre to Haryana to be with his wife, IAS officer Anjali Shrotriya. Unlike many officers who seek transfers to UP for its prestige, Anand’s decision is driven by love.
A 2020-batch IAS officer, Anand initially served as Joint Magistrate of Shahjahanpur after securing the 26th rank in the UPSC exam. His wife, Anjali, hails from Madhya Pradesh and is currently posted as SDM in Gohana, Haryana. Following their marriage, Anand chose to relocate to Haryana, making an unconventional yet heartfelt career decision.
