After IAS officer Nidhi Nivedita was transferred from the Women and Child Development Department, the Madhya Pradesh administration has cancelled several orders she issued during her tenure.
The Madhya Pradesh state administration announced the cancellation of a series of orders that were issued by IAS officer Nidhi Nivedita while she served as the Commissioner of the Women and Child Development Department. Nivedita, a 2012‑batch officer, was removed from the post and transferred to another assignment earlier this month.
The revocation was effected through an official government notification that listed the specific orders now deemed null and void. The department has been instructed to revert to the previous directives that were in place before the cancelled orders were issued.
Officials said the move aims to ensure continuity of welfare schemes and to avoid administrative confusion. No new policy changes were announced alongside the revocation, and the department will continue to implement existing programmes under the guidance of the current commissioner.
The decision underscores the state government's authority to review and overturn decisions made by senior officers after a transfer, a practice that is not uncommon in Indian administrative circles.
