MP IAS Officer Neha Marvya Singh Says ‘Humiliated’ After 4th Transfer in a Year

Madhya Pradesh IAS officer Neha Marvya Singh has expressed resentment over being transferred for the fourth time in a year, saying she was "humiliated" after subordinates allegedly organised a "mutiny" against her.

Neha Marvya Singh Questions Fourth Transfer

"I am transferred because the subordinates whose establishment is not with me but with the department organised a mutiny against me, they are thumping on my desk threatening to get me transferred," Singh wrote.

She said she had reported alleged insubordination, hoarding of files and mistreatment through the proper channel, expecting action against those responsible. "Rather I am getting transferred?" she said. IAS Officer Padma Jaiswal Removed From Service Over Corruption Charges.

Singh said she understood that an IAS officer could be assigned duties wherever the state government wanted and that she had always accepted transfer orders respectfully. "I completely understand that, being an IAS officer, I can be asked to perform my duties wherever the state government wants, and I have always respectfully accepted orders. But this time I feel very demotivated," she wrote.

Questioning the circumstances surrounding her transfer, Singh asked, "Is an IAS officer so vulnerable that even his subordinates can get him or her transferred by organising a mutiny?" She also pointed to the frequency of her transfers and questioned the role of the MP IAS Officers' Association in addressing such concerns.

"This is the fourth time in one year my name has appeared on the transfer list. I understand that the MP IAS Officers' Association is much beyond just wishing birthdays, congratulating etc.," she wrote. Singh said an officer needed time to understand the functioning of a department and questioned how subordinates could allegedly organise a "mutiny" so soon after she assumed charge.

"Leave me. I don't think any IAS officer can do anything of the level that subordinates organise a mutiny within a month of joining the officer. An officer hardly gets to understand the work in a month," she wrote. "But I have been humiliated by this transfer at the behest of the mutiny of subordinates," the IAS officer said.

Frequent Transfers Raise Work Concerns

Singh also said repeated transfers had affected her ability to understand and manage the departments assigned to her. "How am I supposed to work? My tenures are short months. By the time I understand the charge, I get removed," she said.

She further alleged that the frequent transfers had affected how her subordinates viewed her. "Even my subordinates feel I am an easy target if I do not work according to them, they can get me transferred," she said.

Singh said she had remained silent and patient for years while being "sidelined and not given work", hoping the situation would eventually improve. According to her, the situation had instead reached a point where subordinates were allegedly threatening her with transfers.

Neha Singh Says System Has Failed Her

In her message, Singh expressed frustration over what she described as a system that had failed to support her. "Conspirators always win and I fail. The system has failed me. Today it's me, tomorrow another IAS officer will be the target," the IAS officer further said.

Her comments come amid recent instances of civil servants leaving government service. IAS officer Divya Mittal, a 2013-batch Uttar Pradesh cadre officer, recently announced her voluntary resignation after 13 years in service. Former IAS officer Roman Saini also resigned from the bureaucracy after a brief stint and later co-founded edtech platform Unacademy.

Singh's remarks, however, centre on her own transfer history and allegations concerning her subordinates. The allegations contained in her message have not been independently established in the material provided. The latest transfer is Singh's fourth in a year, according to her message, with the officer raising questions over the impact of short tenures on administrative work and accountability.
