The government of Rajasthan has recently mandated the transfer of popular IAS officer Tina Dabi (2015 batch), presently serving as the Commissioner of the Employment Guarantee Scheme (EGS) in Jaipur, as the District Collector of Barmer. Her husband, IAS Pradeep Gawande (2013 batch), who was stationed in Bikaner, will now assume the role of District Collector in Jalore. The development took place after the government transferred over 100 IAS officers, marking a significant shift in Rajasthan’s governance.
Officer Dabi, a well-known name in Indian bureaucracy, became a national sensation when she topped the prestigious UPSC examination in 2015 on her first attempt. She began her administrative journey as an Assistant Collector in Ajmer in 2017.
Officer Gawande brings a diverse background to the role. A qualified doctor, Officer Gawande completed his MBBS degree before successfully passing the UPSC examination. His recent postings include a significant tenure as the Collector of Churu.
The two officers tied the knot in 2022.
