Haryana Implements Major Reshuffle of Field Officers
The government of Haryana, under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, has ordered transfers and postings of nine IAS and HCS officers across the state. This new order brings in recently recruited officers and also adjusts current field postings in a strategic reshuffle that took effect immediately from the date of notification.
2023 Batch IAS Officers Move from Under Training to SDO (Civil) Posts
A significant part of this reshuffle is the appointment of 2023 batch IAS officers, who were serving as Assistant Commissioners (Under Training). Their fresh assignments, now as independent Sub Divisional Officers (Civil), are as follows:
- Ankita Puwar (IAS:2023:HY)
Previously: Assistant Commissioner (Under Training), Palwal
Now: SDO (Civil), Nuh - Aniruddh Yadav (IAS:2023:HY)
Previously: Assistant Commissioner (Under Training), Nuh
Now: SDO (Civil), Narnaul; also appointed Deputy CEO & Deputy Managing Director, Haryana Multi Modal Logistic Hub Project Limited - Abhinav Siwach (IAS:2023:HY)
Previously: Assistant Commissioner (Under Training), Rohtak
Now: SDO (Civil), Pehowa - Akash Sharma (IAS:2023:HY)
Previously: Assistant Commissioner (Under Training), Fatehabad
Now: SDO (Civil), Tohana - Kanika Goyal (IAS:2023:HY)
Previously: Assistant Commissioner (Under Training), Hisar
Now: SDO (Civil), Mahendragarh - Yogesh Saini (IAS:2023:HY)
Previously: Assistant Commissioner (Under Training), Karnal
Now: SDO (Civil), Charkhi Dadri - Ravi Meena (IAS:2023:HY)
Previously: Assistant Commissioner (Under Training), Ambala
Now: SDO (Civil), Tosham
These officers, until now undergoing field training as Assistant Commissioners, will independently manage subdivisions, handling law and order, public grievances, revenue matters, and major development schemes.
Reciprocal Transfers Among Senior Field Officers
Apart from the new appointments, the reshuffle features reciprocal transfers between experienced officers from previous batches:
- Shashvat Sangwan (IAS:2022:HY)
Previously: SDO (Civil), Barara
Now: SDO (Civil), Thanesar - Aman Kumar (HCS:2020)
Previously: SDO (Civil), Thanesar
Now: SDO (Civil), Barara
These moves are designed to maintain continuity and administrative efficiency across key subdivisions.
Focus on Strategic Administrative Leadership
This targeted transfer and posting exercise seeks to infuse new energy into Haryana’s grassroots administration. Districts such as Nuh, Tohana, and Pehowa are seen as crucial points for law and order, development, and public services. By placing recently trained IAS officers in charge of these subdivisions, the state aims to bolster local governance and improve service delivery.
Officers Prepare for Independent Field Responsibility
With this reshuffle, the new SDOs transition from their foundational training roles to fully responsible leadership positions. Their effectiveness in handling subdivision affairs will play a defining role in shaping their administrative careers. The Haryana government expects that the blend of youth and strategic placements will lead to responsive, transparent, and accountable governance at the local level.
