Neha Marvya

IAS, Madhya Pradesh cadre, 2011 batch, Serving 2026

Four transfers in about a year, not a career count. Sequence per FPJ: Collector Dindori (removed Jan 2025 after eight months) -> Director, Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Tribes -> Additional Secretary, Tribal Welfare -> Director, ITDP -> divested after about 50 days (5 Sep 2026). The count is hers, in her letter; FPJ and HT repeat it.

  • Documented
  • One report
  • Years with no move on record

Four transfers in about a year; the last came 50 days into a posting, after a staff protest against her notices.

On the record

Can an officer really be so weak that subordinate employees can revolt against her and get her transferred?

The moves, and what came of them

Oldest first. Each fold is marked by how well the record holds it.

  1. Documented

    Director, Tribal Area Development Projects; Director, MAPSETManaging Director, MP Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development Corporation (additional charge only)

    Moved about 50 days after taking charge, days after employees staged a pen-down protest against notices she had issued. In a message to the IAS association she said subordinates had banged her desk and threatened to get her transferred, and that she was removed after reporting insubordination. FPJ lists earlier disputes with minister Yashodhara Raje Scindia (Shivpuri), Principal Secretary Revenue Manish Rastogi (HT: in 2022 she alleged he denied her entry to take charge) and Dindori MLA Omprakash Dhurve.

    Up against
    Subordinate staff; earlier disputes with a minister, a principal secretary and an MLA (FPJ) Government: Mohan Yadav (BJP), Madhya Pradesh.
    The officer said
    'I reported insubordination and hoarding of files, but instead of action, I was removed.' and 'Always conspirators win, and I fail. The system has failed me. Today it is me, tomorrow another IAS officer will be the target' (letter quoted by HT).
    The other side said
    No government reason found. Retired IAS officer Satyanand Mishra, replying in the group, said such frequent transfers were unusual and advised her to consider becoming 'more acceptable and popular among colleagues and subordinate employees' (FPJ). HT: the IAS Association had not reacted.
    Outcome
    Left with only an additional charge.
    What became of the matter
    Unknown. No report on action on her complaint of insubordination.
