Cadre of Anoushka Sharma relocated to UP

Cadre of Ms Anoushka Sharma has been relocated from Maharashtra to Uttar Pradesh on the grounds of marriage to IPS Prashant Raj. She is a 2023 batch IAS officer. The transfer underscores how inter-cadre moves still follow marriage-based provisions in the All India Services. Shifting to the UP cadre offers Ms Sharma a broader administrative exposure, given the complexity and scale of governance in India’s most populous state. As a 2023‑batch IAS, this move could impact her early career trajectory, giving her opportunities in both field-level and secretariat roles.
