Not everyone seems to be settling in after moving to the Centre. Some IAS officers of the Rajasthan cadre, who recently came on central deputation, are said to be quietly exploring options to return to their parent cadre. Interestingly, this comes despite the fact that the officers are otherwise considered to be comfortably placed in their current central assignments.
Sources indicate that while the postings were initially seen as prestigious and promising, the ground realities at the Centre may not have entirely matched expectations. The officers, who joined central deputation earlier this year, are understood to be reassessing their long-term plans.
Whether the Centre will be inclined to relieve them so soon, or the Rajasthan government would be keen to take them back, remains to be seen. For now, the wish to return home has been noted—but how it plays out will depend on multiple factors beyond individual preference.
