In a notable administrative development dated July 19, the Rajasthan government has announced the transfer and postings of 12 Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers. While two officers from the 2022 batch have been reassigned to new roles, ten officers from the 2023 batch have received their first official appointments as Sub-Divisional Magistrates (SDMs) following the completion of their training.
Key Transfers Among 2022 Batch Officers:
Yasharth Shekhar: Shifted from Alwar, now posted as SDM, Barmer
Sonika Kumari: Transferred from Girwa (Udaipur), appointed CEO, Udaipur Smart City Ltd.
Meet the 10 Newly Posted SDMs from the 2023 Batch:

Garima Narula was initially allotted the Telangana cadre and has since been transferred to Rajasthan after marrying a Rajasthan-cadre IAS officer.
These fresh postings mark the start of formal field-level responsibilities for the 2023 batch, as Rajasthan strengthens its local governance setup by assigning capable and trained young officers to key sub-divisional roles. A broader reshuffle in the administrative machinery is expected in the days ahead.
