The news of senior Uttar Pradesh IAS officer Amod Kumar (IAS:1995:UP) taking VRS, six years before retirement, has caused a stir in the state bureaucracy. Speculations and discussions are doing rounds in the corridors of power, though; Kumar has cited personal reasons for his VRS decision. He was due to retire in 2031.
What has fuelled speculation is the fact that Kumar had recently returned from central deputation. In fact, his return from central deputation to his home cadre had been cleared by the state government. Kumar had requested to return to Uttar Pradesh due to family reasons, but now, this news is surfacing to fox many.
His VRS has been approved by the state government. A 1995 batch IAS officer, Kumar has extensive bureaucratic experience while serving in both the central and state governments. He made the headlines after former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav picked him as the secretary during his Samajwadi Party regime in government.
