End of Service, Beginning of Legacy

Most of these officers have held key leadership roles as Principal Secretaries, Chief Secretaries, Commissioners, and Heads of Departments in their respective states or in central ministries. Their retirement marks the end of an era for many departments that benefited from their administrative expertise and strategic vision.

The retirement of this cohort will also lead to a wave of new appointments and reshuffles, impacting administrative continuity and the distribution of senior bureaucratic responsibilities across various states.

Contributions Recognized Across Sectors

From urban development to rural empowerment, and from internal security to industrial policy, these officers leave behind a legacy of impactful governance. For example, S V R Srinivas is known for his urban development work in Mumbai, while Manoj Kumar Singh has played a pivotal role in infrastructure development and disaster management in Uttar Pradesh.

Their retirements will likely be followed by farewell ceremonies and official commendations at the state and central levels, recognizing their decades of public service.
