Major IAS reshuffle in Rajasthan

Jaipur: In a major administrative shake-up, the Rajasthan government has transferred 65 IAS officers in one of the largest reshuffles in recent times. As part of this overhaul, Collectors in 25 districts have been replaced, signaling a significant restructuring of the state’s administrative machinery.

A key highlight of this move is the near-complete revamp of the Chief Minister’s Secretariat, where almost all officials-except the Principal Secretary-have been changed. This step is being seen as a strategic decision aimed at strengthening governance and administrative efficiency.

Among the prominent changes, Tina Dabi has been transferred from Barmer to Tonk, a politically significant region associated with Sachin Pilot, where she will take charge as District Collector. Meanwhile, her sister Ria Dabi has been appointed as Secretary to the Chief Minister.

In other key postings, Jitendra Soni, previously Jaipur Collector, has been moved as Director of Information and Public Relations. Sandesh Nayak will now serve as Jaipur Collector.

Several other important appointments include:

• Gaurav Agarwal in Udaipur
• Nishant Jain in Bikaner
• Alok Ranjan in Jodhpur
• Anupama Jorwal in Jaisalmer
• Chinmayee Gopal in Barmer
• Ashish Modi in Sikar
• Amit Yadav in Sri Ganganagar
• Ravindra Goswami in Pali
• Soumya Jha in Dausa

Such a large-scale, simultaneous transfer of officers is rare and has sparked discussions across both political and administrative circles. The reshuffle is being interpreted as a decisive move to realign governance priorities and improve administrative performance across districts.
