Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh is witnessing a significant administrative transition as several senior IAS, IPS, and PCS officers officially retire today. This mass retirement marks a historic moment in the state’s bureaucratic and police leadership, opening the door for fresh appointments and a major reshuffle in key departments.

Farewell to Distinguished IPS Officers

Several high-ranking IPS officers from the 1997 to 2014 batches are retiring, with notable contributions across law enforcement, intelligence, and forensic science

Pankaj Kumar Pandey (IPS: 2014) – As SP at PAC headquarters, Pandey enhanced the force’s preparedness in riot control and disaster response.

Kuldeep Narayan (IPS: 2010) – Serving as DIG, STF, Narayan was known for cracking high-profile criminal cases and dismantling organized crime syndicates.

Kamal Prasad Yadav (IPS: 2011) – As DIG, Anti-Corruption Organisation, he played a prominent role in counter-terrorism and vigilance operations.

Dr. G.K. Goswami (IPS: 1997) – Currently ADG, UP State Institute of Forensic Sciences (SIFS), Dr. Goswami revolutionized scientific crime investigation in the state, establishing new benchmarks in forensic excellence.

Senior IAS Officers Hang Up Their Boots

Some of the most influential IAS officers in the state are also retiring, many of whom held critical positions in infrastructure, education, and administrative policy

Dr. Sudhir Mahadev Bobde (IAS: 1990) – Serving as Additional Chief Secretary to the Governor, he played a crucial role in high-level administrative coordination and policy formulation.

Rakesh Kumar Singh (IAS: 2009) – As CEO of Yamuna Authority and Jewar International Airport, Singh led the fast-paced development of Jewar Airport and infrastructure in Noida, positioning it as a key economic zone.

Avinash Krishna Singh (IAS: 2009) – The Director General and Secretary of Technical Education, he pushed reforms and modernized technical education across Uttar Pradesh.

Brajesh Narayan Singh (IAS: 2009) – Serving as Secretary, Secretariat Administration, Singh focused on administrative transparency and systemic reform.

Retirement of Senior PCS Officers

Two respected PCS officers are set to retire, each leaving behind a legacy of committed public service –

Arun Mani Tiwari (PCS: 2015): Currently serving as ADM (Land Acquisition) in Ayodhya, Tiwari has been instrumental in managing sensitive land acquisition processes, particularly in the high-stakes developmental landscape of the temple town. His calm and capable handling of difficult projects earned him recognition across administrative circles.

Sarvesh Kumar Gupta (PCS: 2012): Serving as Additional Commissioner in Moradabad, Gupta’s tenure has been marked by impactful work in revenue administration and maintaining public order in a major industrial hub.

Implications of the Retirements: Reshuffle Imminent

The simultaneous retirement of high-ranking officers from three major services – IAS, IPS, and PCS – signals an imminent and wide-scale bureaucratic reshuffle in Uttar Pradesh. The state government will soon need to make key appointments to ensure the continuity of work across essential departments such as education, police administration, infrastructure, and governance.

Experts believe that the legacy of these officers will serve as a blueprint and source of inspiration for the next generation of civil servants. However, with these exits, the challenge now lies in ensuring their successors can carry forward their vision and maintain administrative stability.
