IAS officer Neha Byadwal's strict study routine starts social media debate, ‘This UPSC-prep cult needs to be dismantled'
A debate started on social media after a user criticised IAS officer Neha Byadwal's strict study routine during UPSC prep. She reportedly didn't use a phone for three years. The user argues that such isolated preparation disconnects future bureaucrats from real-life India. The post on Twitter (now X) has been viewed by over 9 lakh people. 'This UPSC-prep cult needs to be dismantled & destroyed. Complete sociopaths with zero idea of how india runs outside of their 24*7 rote study room end up governing the public,' wrote the user. 'Bureaucracy har cheez ke liye OTP maangti the privilege of not requiring a mobile phone for 3 years in today's world,' the user added. 'People saying I'm targeting the girl coz I'm jealous: No bro. I'm just a girl standing in front of you, wanting ROI for my tax money,' she added. Many others agree, saying many officers treat administration like their personal power zone and follow coaching notes blindly. Some users believe government officials lack work experience and don't know how to deal with teams or real-life problems. 'I simply fail to understand what an IAS will know about electricity when he is made MD of a board. Similarly, what will a babu know when he heads directorate general of shipping or aviation?' wondered one user. Another user wrote, 'Why only UPSC. It permeates our engineers (IIT/Kota Factories), CAs and the rest too.' However, many others disagreed. 'And, place whom in place, influencers?' came a sarcastic reply. 'Easier said than done, crack this exam and then we`ll hear you,' wrote another. One user wrote, 'She didn't use her phone, but for current affairs, she must be reading the newspaper to understand what's happening and how India runs.' 'Message is good, but you're wrong here. They are very well aware of how the world functions…' came from another. IAS officer Neha Byadwal belongs to a village in Jaipur, where women stayed behind veils and education for girls was rare. In 2021, she became the first IAS officer from her village, bringing hope and change. Seeing little girls ask for schools and a better future moved her deeply. She felt proud to be heard and respected by her people. According to Neha, the best part was knowing that her success inspired others, especially fathers, to encourage their daughters to study. 'I hope I become the reason a father motivates his daughter to study, telling her 'if she can, you can too',' she wrote on Instagram.

Neha Byadwal remained offline for 3 yrs while preparing for UPSC. Now 24-year-old faces online fury
Neha Byadwal, one of the youngest IAS officers in India, cracked the UPSC in her 20s after years of setbacks and making the sacrifice of shunning her social media for about three long years. The 26-year-old is once again making headlines for her isolated studying habits on social media. On Sunday, a social media user on X (formerly called Twitter) called out the IAS officer Neha Byadwal's isolated study habits, citing this as a reason why bureaucrats have zero idea of how India runs outside their "24*7 rote study room." The user went on to respond to a fellow user's claim that Byadwal did not use her phone for 3 long years when she was preparing for the UPSC exams. Social media users troll Neha Byadwal's UPSC preparation routine The conversation on X did not stop there; the user shared a post saying that this UPSC-prep cult needs to be dismantled and destroyed. They are complete sociopaths with zero idea of how India runs outside of their 24*7 role study room and end up governing the public. This UPSC-prep cult needs to be dismantled & destroyed. Complete sociopaths with zero idea of how india runs outside of their 24*7 rote study room end up governing the public. On the other hand, another user, while replying to her post, stated that everything, right from making online payments to getting online deliveries, required a one-time password (OTP). "Bureaucracy har cheez ke liye OTP maangti the privilege of not requiring a mobile phone for 3 years in today's world," she mentioned in her post. Additionally, agreeing to this, another user said that the bureaucrats are indeed disconnected from the common man's reality, and they run the administration as their 'personal fiefdom' I think rickshaw drivers can legit design better roadways & traffic management than babus. Classic example is BMC/MMRDA in Mumbai. They made 10 feet wide footpaths in BKC area & turned all major roads into single lane!! While another said, "I think study does require full concentration and not using phone means using it only for required purpose not social media so the lady IAS has been judicial." "The worst part is them acting like they actually understand India cause them memorised the coaching class notes," a social media user wrote. "Trolls need mobile phones all the time, having nothing to do better but to bitch about hard working people," one added. Who is IAS Neha Byadwal? Born in Jaipur, Rajasthan, but raised in Chhattisgarh, Neha Byadwal cleared the UPSC CSE in her fourth attempt in 2021, with an All India Rank (AIR) of 569, and became an IAS officer at the age of 24. Byadwal started her schooling in Jaipur and later went to Kidzee High School, Bhopal. Neha had to frequently switch schools because of her father's government job. She also studied at DPS Korba and later completed her schooling at DPS Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh. Neha's father, Shravan Kumar, is a senior income tax officer, and it was his service to the country and its people that inspired her to become an IAS officer. Neha Byadwal avoided mobile phones and social media for 3 years Byadwal kicked off her preparation for the UPSC CSE after completing her education; however, the path to success was paved with setbacks as she couldn't clear the test in her first three attempts. During an interview, Neha revealed that after failing three times, she realised that social media and mobile phone usage were distracting her from studying in a diligent manner; hence, she avoided the use of mobile phones and social media for nearly 3 years.

‘Balancing fiscal discipline after Ladki Bahin roll-out will be a challenge'
MUMBAI: She was the state's first woman chief secretary, who retired from the post on Monday and handed over the charge to Rajesh Kumar, from the 1998 batch of IAS officers. Through her one-year tenure, Sujata Saunik, of the 1987 batch, has walked the fine line between executing her administrative duties and the Mahayuti government, whose stakeholders have been often known to express opposing views. Mumbai, India - June 30, 2025: Ex chief secretary of Maharashtra Sujata Saunik at Mantralaya, in Mumbai, India, on Monday, June 30, 2025. (Photo by Anshuman Poyrekar/ Hindustan Times) (Hindustan Times) Saunik spoke to Yogesh Naik about temporary setbacks when she was superseded twice in the past, her contributions to the government, what it meant to be an administrator for 38 years and legacy. Excerpts from an interview: You were the first woman chief secretary of Maharashtra. How do you look back on your term; what were your key achievements? It has been an honour of a lifetime to serve Maharashtra as the first woman chief secretary. Our state has both complex governance needs and immense potential. My tenure was marked by collaboration, crisis response and systemic reform. I focused strongly on digital governance, inter-departmental coordination and ensuring that welfare schemes, such as the Ladki Bahin Yojana, were implemented with efficiency and scale. I also made efforts to streamline administration, build resilience in public systems and promote a data-driven, transparent approach to policy. Above all, I hope seeing women in leadership positions like mine inspires girls and young women to join the civil service and serve their country. The emphasis on digital governance was important as the scale and scope of schemes have dramatically increased. What were some of the major challenges you faced? Balancing administrative continuity with political transition, coordinating with external agencies for shared goals, managing complex schemes across departments, and ensuring timely execution — they were both challenges and opportunities. Also, responding to natural disasters and heatwaves, while ensuring service delivery across sectors, kept the administration on its toes. When the volume of schemes increases and delivery timelines shrink, we need to transform the way we work. The push for digital transformation became vital here – tools such as GIS mapping, Gati Shakti and project monitoring systems helped us track implementation in real-time and improved coordination between departments and agencies. How has the Ladki Bahin scheme impacted the state's finances? Do you see its long-term economic effects on the state? Every welfare scheme carries a financial implication. The Ladki Bahin scheme was a bold and compassionate step aimed at financial empowerment of women. In such matters, the challenge lies in balancing fiscal discipline with social investment. Over time, empowering women economically tends to have a multiplier effect — from health and education to overall family income. What happens when the three parties in government have opposing views? How does the administration respond? The role of the civil servant is to act as a bridge between the drafting of a policy to its execution. Our mission is to focus on implementation. Ultimately, the bureaucracy and the elected leadership work together for the benefit of the people and state. Do you think the bureaucracy suffers due to political disagreements, especially within the Mahayuti alliance? In a democracy, the institutions work according to the Constitution, which asks us to respect the public mandate. Our system is mature. The administration is trained to work with consensus and keep governance moving. We adapt, mediate and maintain professionalism. There was an attempt last year to move you from the chief secretary's post. The CM and deputy CM stood by you; in fact even the PM took note of women officers' achievements. Your thoughts? Let us focus on the positive message that younger civil servants can embrace. Officers should pursue their responsibilities with utmost dedication and integrity. My experience has reaffirmed that merit and seniority are valued; and I am very grateful for the support of the honourable Prime Minister, honourable chief minister, and both esteemed deputy chief ministers. You were superseded twice, including once by your own husband. What were the difficulties you faced? It wasn't easy personally or professionally at the time, but I chose not to let temporary setbacks define me. If anything, it was a time to remain even more steadfast in my goals and focus on delivering greater results. In the civil service, patience and perseverance are key. The greatest lesson one can learn is that time is the greatest equalizer. If you continue to relentlessly persevere in the face of grave adversity, your time will come. Do you think political leadership in the state has historically hesitated in appointing women to key positions? It is difficult to compare the present with the past, given that socio-cultural norms change with time and the number of women in civil service has increased dramatically since I joined. In my 38 years of service, I did not experience any hesitation from the leadership that appointed me to various roles. We see a growing acceptance that leadership can be gender-neutral and must be guided by capability and merit. For the first time in Maharashtra's history, women officers held the top three positions – chief secretary, director general of police and principal chief conservator of forests. What changes did you collectively bring and how did it impact women in civil services? It is a historic milestone for our state. More than mere symbolism, it signified trust in competence over convention. The appointment of women to these leadership roles sent a powerful message to the entire bureaucracy. We consciously worked towards creating a culture of inclusion, mentorship and integrity. We also encouraged young women officers to pursue leadership with confidence and merit, regardless of traditional barriers. Your maternal grandfather was secretary to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. Your father was Punjab's election commissioner. What did you do to empower the underprivileged through your service? Both looked upon their work as worship. They never turned anyone away unheard; and worked without fear or favour to anyone. I have therefore always believed in inclusive governance, based on mutual respect for each other's views and experiences. Legacy should not just be remembered — it should act as a spur to fuel better welfare for all. You strengthened entry protocols in Mantralaya. Has it helped reduce corruption or middlemen? What about officers' behaviour towards citizens? Our leadership proposed the initiative for crowd management and security, which were rolled out during my tenure. We launched the DigiPravesh App to allow convenient entry of citizens to Mantralaya for grievance redressal. This tech-driven solution will allow people to enter Mantralaya in an orderly fashion without disrupting vital government business. As far as officers' behaviour goes, I have always encouraged all my colleagues to treat people with dignity. Technology enables transparency, but empathy must come from within along with a keen desire to solve people's problems.
