Following his official visit to Dubai and Spain, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav is expected to initiate a significant administrative reshuffle. From the state secretariat to district headquarters, anticipation is building around what many are calling a major “administrative surgery,” particularly targeting underperforming IAS and IPS officers.
Reshuffle Expected Across Ministries and Districts
According to credible sources, the shake-up will likely impact senior roles such as Principal Secretaries, Secretaries, Collectors, Superintendents of Police (SPs), and Divisional Commissioners. Officers currently handling multiple departments may see a reduction in responsibilities as part of an effort to streamline governance and improve administrative efficiency.

At least 12 district Collectors are expected to be reassigned, including those from:
Alirajpur
Bhind
Dhar
Ratlam

Jabalpur Collector Deepak Saxena is reportedly in line for a state-level appointment, while other transfers will be based on recent performance reviews.
Over 100 Deputy, Joint, and Additional Collectors to Be Reassigned
More than 100 officers at the Deputy Collector, Joint Collector, and Additional Collector levels are also expected to receive new postings. This includes recently promoted officers who are yet to be assigned their new designations. The government aims to ensure every district has at least one ADM and Joint Collector—currently lacking in 8–9 districts.
