IAS Officer Ganga Singh Takes Charge as Collector and DM of Gujarat's Narmada District

A new face has taken over one of Gujarat's key district administrations, with IAS officer Ganga Singh assuming charge as Collector and District Magistrate of Narmada district on May 13, 2026.

Singh is a 2017-batch IAS officer of the Gujarat cadre, having entered the service as a Direct Recruit through the UPSC Civil Services Examination. He holds a B.Sc. in Mathematics and hails from Rajasthan, though his career has been built entirely within Gujarat's administrative machinery. Over roughly nine years of service, he has held nine documented postings across eight locations, with his most extensive experience concentrated in land revenue and rural development administration, alongside a shorter stint in the health sector. His postings have included serving as District Development Officer, among other roles, before his appointment to head Narmada.

Narmada district, headquartered at Rajpipla, is home to two of Gujarat's most recognisable landmarks — the Statue of Unity and the Sardar Sarovar Dam — and has a population of just under six lakh spread across roughly 2,755 square kilometres, based on the last available census figures.

Beyond these service details, I wasn't able to independently confirm the "youngest collector" claim in the source headline, his exact age or date of birth, his UPSC exam rank, or any personal background on his path into the civil services — details that would normally anchor a profile piece like this
