In a recent administrative reshuffle, the Uttar Pradesh government has given a major responsibility to IAS officer Harshika Singh. She has been promoted and transferred from her current post as Joint Magistrate in Sadar Tehsil of Chandauli district.

Along with this important post, she has also been given the additional charge of Divisional Food Controller (RFC).
Harshika Singh is a 2021 batch IAS officer who was earlier posted in Chandauli since November 2023. She initially worked at the District Magistrate’s office before being assigned to Sadar Tehsil as Deputy District Magistrate (SDM), where she served for about one and a half years. Known for her active and efficient working style, Harshika earned the trust of the government through her dedication and performance. This new responsibility is seen as a sign of the state government's confidence in her capabilities.

After completing engineering in 2017, Harshika began preparing for the civil services exam and successfully cracked the UPSC in 2021. Before that, she had secured 15th rank in the UPPCS exam in 2020.
