Swapna Devireddy (IRS-IT:2010), currently serving as Director in the Department of Drinking Water & Sanitation, has been prematurely repatriated to her parent cadre. According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Monday (March 9, 2026), the competent authority has approved the proposal to repatriate her prematurely to her parent cadre on personal grounds with the provision of extended cooling-off.
Notably, Devireddy has been serving in the department since February 2023 when she was appointed as Deputy Secretary for a period of four years. She was later re-designated as Director.
Her tenure in the department was scheduled to end in February 2027. However, she has been repatriated to her parent cadre nearly a year ahead of the completion of her central deputation.
