UPSC chairman Manoj Soni resigns

"The UPSC chairman had tendered his resignation citing personal reasons over a fortnight ago. It is yet to be accepted," a source said.

The eminent educationist took oath as the UPSC chairman on May 16, 2023, and his term was to end on May 15, 2029. Sources said Soni had not been keen on becoming the chairman and had requested to be relieved but his request had not been accepted then. They said he desired to devote more time to "socio-religious activities" and added that the resignation was not connected to controversies and allegations surrounding probationary IAS officer Puja Khedkar.
