UP IAS Officer Divya Mittal Steps Down After 13-Year Career

Divya Mittal, who was commissioned as an Indian Administrative Service officer in 2013, formally announced her resignation on August 30, 2026. During her 13 years in the civil service, Mittal held various positions across Uttar Pradesh's administrative structure.

In her resignation statement, the officer reflected positively on her stint in government service, characterizing her years as an IAS officer as a meaningful and memorable experience. The nature of positions held or the reasons cited for her departure were not immediately specified.

Mittal's resignation comes at a time when the Indian civil service continues to see periodic exits of officers at different career stages. Her departure from the UP cadre adds to the ongoing transitions within state administration.

The IAS 2013 batch, to which Mittal belongs, has seen its members spread across various state administrations and central deputation over the past 13 years. As officers from this batch continue to progress through mid-career stages, some are opting for alternate career paths.
