C. Palani named Managing Director of Tamil Nadu Road Development Company

C. Palani has been appointed Managing Director of Tamil Nadu Road Development Company Limited, taking over from D. Baskara Pandian who was handling the role as an additional charge. On the same day, D. Ravichandran, who was Additional Commissioner (Administration) in the Commissionerate of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments, was transferred to the post of Director of Employment and Training. His move creates the vacancy that Palani filled at the road development firm. K.M. Sarayu, returning from leave, was posted as Director of Town Panchayats, succeeding K.P. Karthikeyan, who has been deputed to the Governor’s office. The reshuffle was announced by the Tamil Nadu government on Thursday. ## Context These appointments are part of the state’s routine administrative reshuffle, aimed at filling key positions in government agencies and public sector undertakings. The road development company manages major highway projects across the state, while the Director of Employment and Training oversees skill‑development programs. The changes reflect the government’s effort to place experienced officers in roles that drive infrastructure and employment initiatives.
