IAS Avi Prasad has taken a third marriage... two wives as collectors, the third as deputy secretary
Avi Prasad, an IAS officer from Madhya Pradesh, has married for the third time, drawing attention due to his personal life rather than professional changes.
Avi Prasad, an IAS officer in Madhya Pradesh, is currently in the spotlight not for his professional achievements, but for his recent third marriage. His previous two wives are also in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), serving as district collectors, while his new wife holds the position of deputy secretary in the state ministry. This unusual personal development among high-ranking officials raises eyebrows and prompts discussions about the intersections of marriage and public service roles.
Prasad began his notable administrative career after initially qualifying for the Indian Police Service (IPS) in 2013. However, he dedicated himself to further attempts and succeeded in the 2014 UPSC exams, securing the 13th rank to join the IAS. This achievement places him among the distinguished officers of his batch. Hailing from Sitapur district in Uttar Pradesh, Prasad has been immersed in a politically aware environment from a young age, with a family history in public service as his grandfather was a minister in the government of Chaudhary Charan Singh.
The narrative of Prasad’s personal life not only captivates the administrative circles but also signals a need for discussions about the complexities and challenges faced by individuals in high-ranking positions within the Indian government, particularly concerning their personal choices and how these may affect public perception. As conversations unfold, the implications of Prasad’s marital choices reflect broader themes of leadership and accountability in the Indian administrative framework.
