In India, it is the dream of millions of youth to become an IAS officer by passing the UPSC Civil Services Examination, because by holding this post, a person gets the highest administrative powers along with serving the country and society. But when a young, honest and bright IAS officer enters mainstream politics by taking voluntary retirement i.e. VRS during his tenure, it becomes a topic of discussion across the country. Recently, when former IAS officer Divya Mittal, known for her excellent administrative service and unique working style, decided to bid goodbye to administrative service and enter the field of politics, everyone was surprised. This famous woman IAS officer of Uttar Pradesh cadre has herself revealed the real and shocking reasons behind her big and unexpected decision. This journey from serving the general public as a bureaucrat to reaching out directly to the public as a politician has created a stir in the political circles. Let us know in detail why former IAS Divya Mittal left the administrative job and joined politics and what are the main objectives hidden behind her bold decision.
Know who is former IAS Divya Mittal and why her working style has been an example in administrative service.
Divya Mittal has been one such IAS officer of Uttar Pradesh cadre who, during her posting, while working as DM (District Magistrate) in many districts, took many such out-of-the-box steps which people remember even today. He has always been counted among the officers who are strict, honest, visionary and work among the public. During his tenure, he started many excellent initiatives to promote education, women empowerment, rural development, startup culture and administrative transparency. When an officer, while holding such a high position, is doing so much for the society at the grassroots level, it was natural for the general public and his colleagues to raise the question as to what circumstances or thinking arose that made him decide to leave the administrative service midway and enter politics.
The limitations of bureaucracy and the urge to work for the public on a larger scale
During an interview, when former IAS Divya Mittal was asked why she left her job and chose politics, she said something very clear and profound. He told that as an administrative officer, you have unlimited possibilities to work, but you are always bound within a certain scope and boundaries of government rules (Bureaucratic Red Tapism). Many times it happens that you want to make some huge and revolutionary changes for the society, but due to the process of moving files, political interference or administrative hurdles, the policies do not take off as fast as they need to. Divya Mittal believed that if you want to bring about a radical and permanent change in the system of society, then it becomes necessary to reach the highest platform of policy making from where real decisions are taken. For them, politics is not just a means of gaining power, but an open and wide platform to serve the public where they can directly become the voice of the people without any administrative hindrance.
Changing people’s conservative thinking about politics and inspiring the youth of the country.
Politics in India is often seen as a field where educated, professional and honest people shy away from entering. Generally, people have negative notions about politics like corruption and tainted image. Former IAS Divya Mittal has tried to give a big message with her step that if the system of the country has to be improved, then good, educated and capable people will have to come forward and play an active role in politics. He has proved that when people with administrative service experience enter the political platform, they understand the administrative understanding of implementing development works on the ground and the pulse of the public much better. Her decision has become an example for those youth and women professionals across the country who want to bring change in the country’s politics but are hesitant.
Future political plans and determination to accelerate development work by staying among the people.
After leaving the job and entering politics, now former IAS Divya Mittal is seen completely active among the public. She is visiting villages, towns and cities, listening to people’s problems and using her experiences as an administrator to try to find practical solutions to those problems. Regarding his political journey, experts believe that this unique combination of administrative efficiency and public relations can bring a positive change in the political scenario in the times to come. Although the path of politics is not as easy as it appears from outside, but Divya Mittal’s strong self-confidence and administrative experience is proving to be her biggest strength.
Conclusion: A new confluence of administrative experience and political will
In short, the decision of former IAS Divya Mittal to leave her job and choose politics reflects a new direction and thinking in Indian democracy. This is proof that now even the most capable and responsible people in the country want to move away from the orthodox path and do something that can directly benefit the society. This story of his will inspire many youth in the times to come to take an active part in shaping the future of the country.
