Chandigarh: The Haryana government has appointed Manoj Yadava (Retd IPS: 1988: HY), a distinguished former Indian Police Service officer, as the new Director General of the Haryana Institute of Public Administration (HIPA), Gurugram. The announcement was made on Friday, marking the latest chapter in Yadava’s long and decorated public service career.

An Experienced Leader Returns to State Administration

Yadava retired from active service on July 31, 2025, while serving as the Director General of the Railway Protection Force (RPF). His return to Haryana in a top administrative training role reflects the state’s focus on leveraging experienced leadership to strengthen capacity-building among civil servants.

A Distinguished Career Across Key Institutions

Yadava has held several critical positions during his career:

Director General of Police, Haryana (Feb 2019 – Aug 2021):

Served for nearly 30 months, leading key law enforcement and crime control initiatives in the state.

Special Director, Intelligence Bureau (Aug 2021):

Returned to the central intelligence agency, contributing to national security and strategic intelligence gathering.

Director General (Investigation), National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) (July 2022):

Played a pivotal role in advancing custodial justice standards and improving the mechanisms for human rights protection in detention and investigation procedures.

Director General, Railway Protection Force (Aug 2023 – July 2025):

Headed the pan-India security force responsible for the safety of rail passengers and railway assets, introducing operational reforms during his tenure.

Mandate at HIPA, Gurugram

At HIPA, Yadava will oversee training programmes for Haryana’s civil servants, contributing to policy implementation, leadership development, and governance reforms. His extensive experience across policing, intelligence, human rights, and public security makes him well-suited to lead the institute’s evolving mandate.

HIPA plays a critical role in shaping the skills and administrative acumen of officers across various departments of the state government.
