Sheela Balakrishnan, IAS: Profile, Family and Bio



Sheela Balakrishnan, retired IAS Officer of Tamil Nadu Cadre, is widely regarded as blue eye lady of the late Chief Minister J. Jayalalitha. She had become the most trusted ally of Amma, a sort of all-weather friend. Whether Jayalalitha was in crisis or enjoying good times, she never forgot to keep Sheela to her side. In fact, lots of political decisions before the last Assembly Election was taken on the advice of Sheela and the result only shows that this retired IAS officer is not only efficient in administration, but also in case of political maneuvering.





Profile of Sheela Balakrishna


Sheela Balakrishnan was born in Thiruvanthpuram, Kerala. She cracked UPSC Civil Services Examination at a very young age in 1976 and got Tamil Nadu Cadre. She is considered as one of the best women IAS officers that Tamil Nadu has ever seen. There is lots of amazing administration success which are credited to Sheela.


Sheela is now 62 years old and retired. But, it seems retirement from IAS has only increased her work load. She is now eyes and ears of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.


It should be mentioned here that Sheela came close to Jayalalitha in 2002. When Karunanidhi came to power, he completely shunted her out and kept her on an smallest possible posts without no real authority. She silently faced all those five years. When AIADMK came back in power in 2011, Sheela was one of the first officers who was brought to the State Secretariat and given big responsibility.


Sheela had also become the Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu. It should be noted here that Jayalalitha had ordered Sheela’s appointment by superceding the senior most IAS officer. And, who was that senior most IAS officer – husband of Sheela Balakrishnan. Obviously, there was no controversy at that time because Sheela’s husband was more than happy to see his wife handling bigger responsibility.



Husband and Family of Sheela Balakrishnan


The husband of Sheela is R. Balakrishnan. As mentioned above, he was also an IAS officer working with Tamil Nadu cadre.



Jayalalitha Hospitalization and Sheela Balakrishnan


Selvi Jayalalitha was hospitalized for 75 long days before leaving the Planet Earth never to return. During this protracted hospitalization, she remained the Chief Minister and there was no official notification about how the day to day administration will be handled. In fact, she left everything administrative in hands of Sheela Balakrishnan. 

It came to the light that the person who took the command of Tamil Nadu while Jayalalitha was in the hospital was none other than Sheela Balakrishnan. She has controlled everything – from AIADMK politics to state administration. Even the trusted lieutenant of Jayalalitha had no say in the administrative decisions and everyone had to take orders from Sheela who was also living in the Apollo Hospital.


Sheela Balakrishnan is handling Tamil Nadu legally. She has been appointed as the Chief Advisor to the CM just after retirement. And, hence, in this capacity, she can issue orders in the name of Jayalalitha. It will be interesting to see how the new administration under OPS will use such a brilliant officer.

Akunuri Murali, IAS: Profile, Wiki, Caste and Family

Akunuri Murali was an IAS officer of Telangana cadre. He had taken voluntary retirement from the IAS without citing any reason. However, off the record, he had clearly said that he was being discriminated at the highest level because of him being an SC/Dalit.  That was quite a serious charge. If a senior IAS officer can feel and experience caste discrimination, then what hope a common man should have from political executive of the state? His relationship with Congress government is good, though. Akunuri Murali was the DG of State Archives. He was at this post for around two years. And, there is not an iota of doubt that this is a perfectly shunting post for honest officers. One doesn’t need to do anything at this post. He has created a storm on social media in June 2022 by saying that all posts where huge bribes can be made are always given to civil servants belonging to upper castes. Following is the brief wiki and biography of Murali : Real Name:  Akunuri Murali …

Lalan Singh Sister and Nitish Kumar

Nitish Kumar never ridiculed Narendra Modi-Jasodaben relationship. He never leaves a chance to attack Modi just to garner votes of Muslims. His modus operandi is to make Muslims believe that Narendra Modi is going to harm them (well, majority of opposition leaders are doing the same thing!). Coming to the point, it is said that Nitish Kumar not attacking Modi has something to do with his own personal life. His wife Manju Sinha is no more. She was a lady who was respected throughout. She had continued to work the way she was working even after Nitish becoming the Chief Minister. When she was hurt, she decided to leave the CM house. Yes, a simple lady decided to not stay in the lavish CM bungalow. Rather, she had decided to live in two rooms flat. Nitish Kumar has one son – Nishant Kumar. His son had also revolted during those times and gave emotional support to Manju Sinha. The Cause….. What was the reason behind this tussle between husband and wife? If you bel

Arti Dogra, IAS: Profile, Wiki, Height, Husband and Family

Aarti Dogra is a 2006 batch IAS officer of Rajasthan cadre. She is widely regarded as one of the most honest officers of Rajasthan in the contemporary time. In a career spanning little over a decade, she has compelled everyone to take notice of her work and achievement. In fact, Aarti is a big inspiration for all of us. Just three years after birth, the pediatrician had told her parents that she is disable and may need special school. Her father, an Indian Army officer, decided to send Aarti in a general school, not a special school. He fought for her. He had become a guide to her. And, most importantly, he decided to not have any other baby. The short height of Arti couldn’t become a hindrance to her indomitable spirit. Her work as Collector of Bikaner and MD of Jodhpur Discomm has been exceptional. As the DM of Ajmer, she had become a favorite officer of Vasundhara Raje Scindia. Ashok Gahlot, in the first administrative reshuffle of his new government, appointed Arti Do
