- Centre accepts IPS Rachita Juyal’s resignation
- 2015 batch Uttarakhand cadre officer exits service
- VRS move cites personal, family reasons
- Uttarakhand govt issues acceptance orders
The Centre has accepted the resignation of IPS officer Rachita Juyal, marking the completion of her tenure in the Indian Police Service. A 2015 batch officer from the Uttarakhand cadre, Juyal had sought voluntary retirement under the VRS scheme earlier this year, citing personal and family reasons. The Uttarakhand government has also issued formal orders confirming her exit from service.
Career and Service Background
Rachita Juyal joined the IPS in 2015 and served in several key postings within the Uttarakhand police. During her tenure, she was considered a dynamic officer known for her administrative and policing acumen. According to media reports, she played a notable role in strengthening law and order in multiple districts during her service years.
Voluntary Retirement Scheme Application
Juyal had applied for voluntary retirement a few months ago. The process, which includes clearances from both the state and central government, was recently completed. As per several media sources, her application was reviewed and accepted in line with procedures under the All India Services rules.
Official Acceptance Orders
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) under the Government of India released the approval notification this week. Following this, the Uttarakhand government issued its own acceptance orders, thus finalizing the officer’s separation from the service.
Outlook After Resignation
While Juyal has cited personal and family reasons for her decision, it remains unclear whether she will pursue a career in the private sector, academics, or social service. Her resignation indicates a growing trend where young officers opt for early exits, opening discussions on work-life balance within the civil services.
Rachita Juyal’s voluntary retirement officially closes a chapter of nearly a decade of public service, with both state and central authorities formalizing her request.
The move raises expectations of wider discussions within government circles about officer retention policies, support systems, and flexible frameworks for balancing service demands with personal responsibilities.
