Jyoti Maurya (SDM) Biography

Jyoti Maurya is an Indian Uttar Pradesh Provincial Civil Services (UP PCS) officer who rose through the UPPSC ranks after clearing the 2015 exam. She has a

Early life and background
Jyoti Maurya was born on 9 September 1990 in Chiraigaon village near Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Raised in a family from the Valmiki community, she identifies as Hindu and lists Varanasi as her hometown. After marriage in 2010, she pursued further studies and enrolled at coaching institutes to prepare for civil service examinations.

Career
Jyoti entered the Uttar Pradesh Provincial Civil Services after ranking 16th in the UPPSC Combined State/Upper Subordinate examination in 2015. Following her training, she began her administrative career on 5 July 2016 as a Deputy Collector. Her early posting was as Sub-divisional Magistrate (SDM) or Deputy Collector in Jaunpur district, a role she held until 16 October 2017.

From 17 October 2017 to 5 October 2021, Jyoti served as Deputy Collector for the Sirathu and Chail tehsils in Kaushambi district. She was later posted as Deputy Collector in Pratapgarh for a brief period from 6 October 2021 to 22 October 2021. Between 23 October 2021 and 31 March 2023, she was posted as Deputy Collector in the Prayagraj district.

Reports from public listings and media indicate that in late March 2023 she was associated with the role of General Manager at a sugar mill, referenced variously as GM of a sugar mill in Bareilly district and as GM of GM Sugar Mills Ltd in Lucknow.

Public profile
Jyoti’s trajectory from a small-town background to a state administrative officer received wide public attention, particularly after media coverage in 2023 focused on serious personal and professional allegations involving her private life. Her husband publicly accused her of an extra-marital relationship and shared messages and other materials to support his claims. Jyoti has denied wrongdoing and indicated she would respond through legal channels.

The controversy generated a strong reaction online and in the press. A video that surfaced in July 2023 was said to show Jyoti using caste-related slurs; she denied the video’s authenticity. The episode prompted protests by activists who sought official action, and authorities ordered inquiries related to aspects of the dispute. At least one investigation by the Director General of Home Guards was recorded in response to connected complaints.

Personal life
Jyoti married Alok Maurya on 19 November 2010. The couple have two daughters, listed in public reports with the names Rishi Maurya and Khushi Maurya, both born in 2015. Public sources name her father as Parasnath Maurya; her mother’s name is not listed. She has a brother named Sachin Morya and one sister whose name has not been publicly reported.

Physical details and training
Public profiles list Jyoti’s height at about 163 cm (5 feet 4 inches) and weight around 55 kg (121 lbs). Her eye and hair color are described as black. For her exam preparation she attended institutes including Vajirao & Reddy Institute and Disha IAS Academy.

Latest updates
In mid-2023, the allegations and counter-allegations between Jyoti and her husband continued to be reported in news outlets and circulated widely on social media. Both sides lodged complaints: Jyoti’s husband publicly complained to state authorities and said he had filed a police complaint earlier in the year; Jyoti in turn filed an FIR against her husband and his family alleging harassment related to dowry. Jyoti has stated she will address allegations in court. Reports referenced circulating social-media material including WhatsApp chats and a diary presented by her husband, while some claims, including any official suspension, could not be independently verified in the public listings cited in those reports.
