TOI exclusive: When lakhs of youngsters are languishing without jobs, Tamil Nadu govt departments are hiring retired staff as old as 74-years-old, who are in infinite extensions, to key positions.

At a time when several lakh qualified youngsters remain unemployed and await govt job openings, Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) has appointed 74year-old Rajendiran as its ‘librarian’ with a salary of not less than ₹1 lakh.

The TNPCB library has about 11,000 books on topics ranging from policies, pollution and disasters to the environment.

He is not alone. TNPCB has appointed three more people, aged 64-65 years, in different capacities.

Tamilarasan, 64, who had retired from prohibition and excise department, Sampath, 65, who retired from home department, and Narayanan, 65, who superannuated in finance department, have all been recently hired by TNPCB.

These ‘officials’ are now earning their last drawn salary, of course minus pension.

When contacted, TNPCB chairperson M Jayanthi said: “Youngsters are not willing to come to these departments, nor do they have the expertise to handle this. Finance is a major department. We can only appoint seniors in that.

So, a senior retired officer from the finance department was posted here. Similarly, it is a tough task to manage a library, and the 74-year-old is an experienced librarian. They are doing their job well.”

“We asked the govt for postings, and all these four staff members were recommended by the Secretariat. We do recruit youngsters, but they have not yet attained the necessary experience,” she said.

These late-stage appointments have drawn criticism from govt employees and secretariat staff associations, who say TNPSC should recruit fresh candidates and promote and train their mid-level staff with the necessary expertise.

G Venkadesan, president of the Tamil Nadu Secretariat Association, condemned govt departments for infinite extensions, and said: “Seniors who retire get extensions and then continue to occupy the top roles, drawing their last drawn salary.” It is the duty of departments to ensure knowledge-sharing, train youngsters and mid-level staff for higher positions.

The association also wrote to chief minister Stalin on March 11, condemning the state special projects implementation department for floating newspaper advertisements to hire retired officials, with tailor-made requirements such as ‘a deputy secretary rank officer who had worked in the secretariat’.

Such late-stage recruitments violate the 69% reservation rule too. M Anbarasu, former president of JATCO-GEO, said the govt should hire fresh recruits through TNPSC and train mid-level officers for higher posts. “Re-appointing retired officials will deny govt jobs to youths,” he said. TNN

@ovshake42 Utterly disappointed at retentions itself. Auction was a even big shocker.

@ovshake42 @ovshake42 why do you think RR management being inclined to specialists over all rounders for past 3-4 seasons?

@VamsiChandran By this logic, kamalhassan and mohanlal and mammoty have contributed to cinema more than rajini but only rajini got dada saheb palke award. Everything should be seen with pinch of politics only.

Shame on Rahul Dravid & Ravi Shastri.
Coach Gautam Gambhir would have definitely backed Sanju Samson 💔

[Arjun @i_am_ArjunR]

@iamkarthi_V Sanju, Arshdeep should also be there in best 15. Arshdeep should definitely start. Sanju atleast should be in squad. He can bat anywhere and keep. Doesn't throw away his wicket.

No one has given more to their sport. Or left it all on the court every single time. @RafaelNadal, you showed us what it takes to be the greatest. It only takes everything.

Selection shockers continue in the Gambhir era . The player of last series Washington Sundar dropped in spin friendly conditions of srilanka. Opted for riyan parag who is more a top order batter. Batting (slot wise) & bowling wise Washington was better than parag. #bcci #indvssl
