Girija
Vaidyanathan is the Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu Government. She was appointed
the Chief Secretary when Income Tax department had raided the houses and
chamber of previous CS Mr. Rama Mohan Rao. Unlike Mr. Rao, Girija is widely
regarded as an honest officer who gives very high values to work ethics. She is
also seen as an officer who has never took any side in the power tussle between
DMK and AIADMK. Her appointment was little bit shocking as neither OPS nor
Sasikala was inclined for her. However, she was admired by late Jayalalitha for
her performance, particularly the way she had implemented Comprehensive Health
Insurance Scheme, a pet project of Jayalalitha.
Dr. Girija had
also done wonder while being the Secretary of Education Department. She is a no
nonsense officer who always demands utmost performance from her juniors.
Profile of Girija Vaidyanathan
Girija was born
in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu. Her father name is S. Venkitaraman, who was the
Governor of RBI for two years and considered as one of the most clear thinking
economists that India has ever seen. Girija has always been a bright student
throughout her career. After completing B. Sc. Honors in Physics, she took
admission in IIT – Madras from where she did Ph. D in Health Economics. It was
her father who suggested her to go for Civil Services. She appeared in the exam
in 1980 and cracked UPSC Civil Services with good rank. She got IAS with her
home state as cadre.
Ever since
becoming an IAS, Girija has always remained in lime light for her good work.
She is among very few officers in Tamil Nadu who are admired by both DMK and
AIADMK politicians. However, it must be noted here that she was also side lined
for few times.
Husband and Family of Girija Vaidyanathan
Girija has
always been quite popular in Tamil Nadu and adjoining states because of her
stupendous service records. However, it is quite unfortunate that there is no
personal information about her is available on the public forum. In fact, we
couldn’t find any mention of her husband and her children anywhere. If you are
privy of any such information, please share that in the comment section for
future readers.
Girija is the brother - in - law of SVe Shekhar, the BJP leader, who was recently in news for sharing a post on Facebook with vulgar comments against women journalists.
