Dr. Divya Iyer is one of the most respected IAS
officers of Kerala. She is known for her innovative administrative skills which
had even surprised senior IAS officers. As a matter of fact, she is a 2014
batch IAS officer belonging to Kerala cadre. Divya is, indeed, a versatile
young lady. She is a qualified doctor, an artist, a classic dancer and a
successful author. You will hardly find an IAS officer in this age with such a
powerful persona. Needless to say, she is also a very good administrator and
residents of Kottayam have seen her positive working style with her first
posting as Assistant Collector of Kottayam.
Profile of Divya Iyer
Divya was born and brought up in Thiruvanthpuram.
Her father – Mr. Sesha Iyer – was an employee of ISRO, one of the most
respected space organizations of the world. Her mother – Mrs. Bhagavathy Ammal –
is still working with State Bank of Travancore (SBT, now this associate bank is
merged with the parent SBI).
Divya has one sister named Nithya who is working in
Bangalore as a software engineer with a top software consulting MNC.
Divya has always been a very good school. She had
become famous in Thiruvanthpuram during her school days for her extra
curriculum activities. After schooling, she took admission in the prestigious
medical college CMC, Vellore from where she did her MBBS. She has also won many
accolades while doing MBBS. However, some incidents and interactions with poor
patients led her to change her mind as long term career. She decided to become
an IAS officer. She appeared in the Civil Services Exam in 2012 and secured 139th
rank with Indian Revenue Service (IRS). She joined and went for training
without losing hope. She again appeared after going for one year break and cracked
the UPSC Civil Services with All India Rank of 48. Fortunately, she was able to
get her home cadre with the rooster system.
Divya was also applauded by everyone, including the
Election Commission of India, for her innovative way to motivate people to vote
in the election. She sang a song and created an environment for election which
resulted in higher percentage people came to the booth to cast their votes.
Husband and Boyfriend of Divya Iyer
Divya again made news headline because of an
interesting turn of events. Two time Congress MLA K. S. Sabrinathan has
declared that he is going to marry Divya Iyer. He posted a photo of him with
Divya in happy mood along with the reason why he and Divya thought that they
are made for each other.
Before this Facebook post there was no news about
Divya seeing Sabrinathan. The couple had successfully concealed their
relationship from the world.
