Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) was established to produce technically savvy agricultural graduates. But the byproduct appears to be a range of civil servants who have now come to occupy senior positions in administration.
Days after one of TNAU’s alumnus Irai Anbu became chief secretary, it is the turn of another alumnus C Sylendra Babu to occupy the top seat in the state police department on Tuesday.
On Wednesday yet another key posting – vice chancellor of Salem Periyar University – was also that of TNAU alumnus.
R Jagannathan has also worked as the dean agriculture, professor and head, agricultural meteorology/agro-climatic research centre in TNAU.
