In a major administrative development, 22 senior Provincial Civil Service (PCS) officers in Uttar Pradesh have been promoted to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) issued a formal notification confirming the promotions, based on the selection lists of 2023 and 2024. These officers have been allotted IAS batches for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021.
Among the 22 officers promoted, two have already been assigned new responsibilities. Balram Singh has been appointed as the Chief Development Officer (CDO) of Siddharthnagar, while Vinod Kumar Gaur will serve as the CDO of Farrukhabad. The posting of the remaining 20 officers is expected soon, and an official order in this regard may be issued by the Uttar Pradesh government in the coming days.
As per the batch allocations, Bhanu Pratap Yadav has been placed in the 2019 batch. The 2020 batch includes Vidhan Jaiswal, Rajesh Kumar Singh, Balram Singh, Shailendra Kumar Bhatia, Devi Prasad Pal, Anju Lata, Jai Nath Yadav, Gulab Chandra, Ram Suresh Verma, Ran Vijay Singh, Dayanand Prasad, and Vinod Kumar Gaur. Meanwhile, the 2021 batch includes Sachin Kumar Singh, Vivek Kumar Srivastava, Basant Agrawal, Vandita Srivastava, Mahendra Kumar Singh, Vinay Kumar Singh, Rajesh Kumar, Yogendra Kumar, and Neelam.
Commenting on the development, Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh said, “This promotion will infuse new energy into the state’s administrative setup. These officers bring valuable experience from their years in PCS and will play a crucial role in governance and service delivery.”
The promotion of PCS officers to IAS is a significant step by the state government aimed at strengthening the bureaucratic framework and rewarding administrative talent. Once all officers are deployed, the move is expected to provide greater momentum to developmental initiatives across the state.
