In a significant development, retired IAS officer Awanish Kumar Awasthi (IAS: 1987: UP) will continue to serve as an Advisor to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for another year. According to the order, he will hold the position until February 28, 2026. This marks his third extension.

The timing of the order, issued right after the completion of the Mahakumbh, highlights the importance the Uttar Pradesh government places on Awasthi’s continued role. Before his retirement on August 31, 2022, he was one of the most influential bureaucrats in the state. Shortly after, on September 16, 2022, the UP government created the post of Advisor to assist the Chief Minister in administrative matters and appointed him to the role.

Awasthi’s initial tenure ended on February 29, 2023, but was extended for a year from March 1, 2023, to February 29, 2024. His second extension ran from March 1, 2024, to February 28, 2025. Now, for the third time, his term has been extended.

Before retiring, Awasthi served as Additional Chief Secretary, Home.
