2004-Batch IAS Officer Anamika Singh Takes Voluntary Retirement Amid Deputation Dispute

Anamika Singh, a senior 2004-batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer of the Uttar Pradesh cadre, has reportedly taken Voluntary Retirement from Service (VRS). The move comes following reports that she did not receive a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the state government for a proposed central government deputation. Known for her administrative competence, Singh has held several key positions within the UP government. Her sudden exit from the service highlights the ongoing complexities and occasional friction between state cadres and central aspirations for high-performing civil servants.
