Dr. Renu Raj is an IAS
officer of Kerala cadre. She is widely regarded as the rising star among best
and most efficient IAS officers of India. In a very short span of time, she has
been getting appreciation from wide range of people for her decisive actions and
upright administrative decisions.
India Today has also ranked her among top 10 most efficient government officers of India. She is also being termed as one of the most beautiful IAS officers of India in the contemporary times.
Being honest means also
being targeted by politicians and corrupt bureaucrats. She had to fight against mighty politicians and builders when she was the Sub Collector of Devikulam, a scenic area known for tourist activities as
well as for illegal constructions. She was abused and publicly shamed by the local
CPM MLA Mr. S. Rajendran. True to her fighting spirit, she didn’t buckle down
under the pressure. In fact, the MLA had to apologize, though halfheartedly.
Few months later, she was transferred out of Devikulam. In fact, she was the 16th IAS officers who had been removed from this area in the last nine years. You can call all of them as crudely honest officers.
