Anil Swarup said transfer, like death, was inevitable for a civil servant until he obtained "nirvana" by way of superannuation

School Education Secretary Anil Swarup received a lot of ideas, suggestions and good wishes on LinkedIn following his transfer from the coal ministry. The bureaucrat thanked all for their “kind wishes and extremely useful suggestions”.
