    The Indian Administrative Service (IAS) is the most prestigious and sought-after Civil Service of the country. Joining IAS is a dream for many but being an IAS officer is tough and needs great commitment. There are many honest and dedicated IAS officers who overcame difficulties and stood by their commitment to the nation. Here are five honest, dedicated IAS officers to be proud of.

    Ashok Khemka, a 1991-batch IAS officer, is one of the most senior and honest civil servants. The dedicated officer is known and respected for his fight against corruption and has been transferred 52 times in his 27-year service. He was awarded the SR Jindal Prize for his "crusade against corruption" in 2011. He is currently the Principal Secretary of Haryana's Science and Technology Department.

    Raju Narayana Swamy IAS, known for stance against corruption

    Raju Narayana Swamy is a 1991-batch IAS officer of the Kerala-cadre. He is known for exposing corruption, even in the government, and has been transferred 20 times. He is known as "Ashok Khemka of Kerala". However, Swamy has reportedly been without a post since March when he was suspended as the Chairman of Coconut Development Board where he allegedly detected multiple cases of corruption.

    IAS officer U Sagayam is known for anti-corruption activities

    Ubagarampillai Sagayam, a 1991-batch IAS officer of Tamil Nadu cadre, is another honest civil servant noted for his fight against corruption.
