IAS Tina Dabi: Love For Jaisalmer

Dabi praised her experience in Jaisalmer and spoke of the "invaluable knowledge" she picked up while serving as the DC, calling it 'fantastic' and 'amazing' throughout her note. A sincere statement of gratitude was included in the note's conclusion. “I leave Jaisalmer today with a wealth of knowledge that I will always treasure. Working here has been a fantastic learning experience, and I am very grateful for the opportunity. Jaisalmer, you will be missed!” Dabi was the first female collector in Jaisalmer. The IAS topper from the batch of 2015 has been employed in the district since 2022 and is currently on maternity leave. Before taking a break from her employment, Dabi posted a lovely message saying goodbye to Jaisalmer.

The Ashok Gehlot-led administration has chosen Ashish Gupta, an IAS officer, to take her place. Gupta, an IAS officer from the 2013 batch, serves as the managing director of RajCOMP Info Services Limited in Jaipur. In the Department of Information Technology and Communication, he also holds the positions of Joint Secretary and Commissioner.
