Uttarakhand PCS Officer Nidhi Yadav Promoted to IAS After Vigilance Clearance – Know More About Her

DoPT Allots 2017 Batch to Nidhi Yadav, Promotion Comes After Long Wait and Clean Chit
Indian Masterminds Stories

Dehradun: After a prolonged wait marked by administrative hurdles and a vigilance investigation, Uttarakhand PCS officer Nidhi Yadav has finally been promoted to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has issued formal orders granting her promotion and allotted her the 2017 IAS batch.

Delayed Promotion Due to Vigilance Inquiry
Ms Yadav was initially in line for promotion under the 2021 IAS vacancy, along with her PCS batchmates. However, her name was put on hold due to an ongoing vigilance inquiry, resulting in her promotion envelope being kept sealed during the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) meeting.

The inquiry pertained to allegations of possessing disproportionate assets, prompting the state government to initiate a detailed investigation.

Clean Chit Opens the Path to IAS
Following a thorough probe, the Vigilance Department gave Ms Yadav a clean chit, clearing her of all charges. This paved the way for the Uttarakhand Personnel Department to forward the findings to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and the DoPT.

Over the following months, there were multiple rounds of communication between the Personnel Department and DoPT to ensure all formalities were completed, including submission of required documents. With procedural clearance now in place, her long-awaited promotion has been finalized.

Batch Allotment and Seniority Details
Ms Yadav has been allotted the 2017 IAS batch, based on her seniority. She will be ranked just below Vinod Giri Goswami, who was earlier promoted from PCS to IAS.

Currently, she holds the post of Director of Panchayati Raj in Uttarakhand. With her elevation to the IAS cadre, she is expected to be assigned additional or upgraded responsibilities in the state administration.

Relief and Recognition After Long Ordeal
Ms Yadav’s promotion marks the end of a challenging professional phase and comes as a vindication of her service record. Her inclusion in the IAS now brings her on par with her batchmates who had been promoted earlier, and reaffirms the principle of due process and fairness in the administrative framework.
