Divya Mittal, a Uttar Pradesh IAS officer, resigns from the civil services after completing 13 years in the government, announcing the decision on August 30, 2026. She describes her career as an “unforgettable journey.”
Sources report that Mittal entered the IAS after previously working in finance in London, before taking up administrative roles in Uttar Pradesh. During her tenure, she serves in multiple positions across the state’s bureaucracy, and she later reflects on the impact of those assignments and her overall experience in public service.
While both outlets focus on the resignation and her reflections, they differ mainly in emphasis. Mint highlights her background and the span of her administrative work in Uttar Pradesh, whereas The Hindu foregrounds her statement about the “unforgettable” nature of the journey and identifies her as a 2013-batch IAS officer. Neither source provides detailed reasons for her resignation beyond her personal assessment of her career.
