Gauri Parashar
Joshi is an IAS officer of Odisha cadre. She belongs to 2009 batch of Indian
Administrative Services. Gauri has worked in Kalahandi for two years and had
got appreciation from both administrative set ups and public at large. Those were
her probationary days and at that time she had shown that proper execution of
various government programs and policies at the ground level can lead to
positive changes even in a region known for acute poverty and wide illiteracy
like Kalahadi. Unfortunately, she didn’t work long for Odisha and shifted to
her home state Haryana.
Profile of Gauri Parashar Joshi
Gauri was born
in the family of a politically and administratively well connected family. Her
father R. N. Parashar was the Chief Adviser of Bhupinder Singh Hooda. In fact,
R. N. Parashar has friends across the political spectrum and he is finding it
easy to manage affairs even in the current BJP led state government.
Gauri started
her schooling in Delhi. She has always been a brilliant student. She scored
quite good in CBSE XII examination and easily got admission in the prestigious
and coveted St. Stephen’s College. During her college days, she used to dream
about becoming a journalist. To follow her passion, she appeared in the IIMC
Entrance Test and easily cracked this tough exam.
She has done
Diploma in Mass Communication from the prestigious Indian Institute of Mass
Communication, Delhi. Here, she got in touch with many journalists.
Again, at IIMC,
she decided to change the course and become an IAS officer. She appeared in the
UPSC Civil Services Examination in 2008 and cracked it. Her All India Rank was
60 and hence she got her first choice for services IAS.
Husband of Gauri Parashar
The husband of
Gauri Parashar is Ajit Joshi who is also an IAS officer. Ajit is quite
distinguished and considered as a strict and honest officer. He belongs to
Haryana Cadre.
After the
marriage with Ajit, Gauri got deputation from Odisha cadre to Haryana. Since,
Haryana is her home state and hence it is not possible for her to get this
cadre now. It is because of this fact that Bhupinder Singh Hooda had written a
letter to the then PM Manmohan Singh asking him to change the cadre of these
two officers to Punjab. That shows the power of connection of Gauri’s father in
law.
It should be
noted that the cadre transfer couldn’t happen because of various reasons.
However, Joshi duo remained favorite of the Haryana administrative set ups. She
is still in Haryana on deputation and even getting plum post by CM Khattar.
Recently, her deputation has been increased for two more years and hence she
will remain in this state till 2018.
She is currently
working with Haryana Urban Development Authority – HUDA.
