What this page is
Ministers in the Tamil Nadu Council of Ministers set policy. Indian Administrative Service officers execute that policy through Government Orders, collectorates, and secretariat departments. This page is a dated cluster of mychennaicity.in reporting on IAS reshuffles — collectors, secretaries, and targeted two-officer swaps — not a live cadre list, not an organisation chart, and not an official Personnel and Administrative Reforms (P&AR) download.
When a G.O. names an officer to a chair, we summarise what the order says and how it touches Chennai readers (collectors, disaster-management roles, archives, revenue). We do not scrape the Secretariat. We do not claim the roster is complete between editions. If an officer has moved since the article date, treat the story as historical reporting and verify on official portals.
How to find a Government Order
How to read a Government Order without treating this site as the gazette: look for the G.O. type (Ms. or Rt.), the number, the department, and the date. A typical posting order names the officer, the post they leave, and the post they take. Print and PDF scans on official Tamil Nadu government sites remain the source of record.
What we will not do: we will not maintain an automated IAS org-chart, we will not invent missing G.O. numbers, and we will not treat WhatsApp forwards of “transfer lists” as orders. If the public G.O. portal is delayed or missing a scan, we say so in the related news desk rather than filling the gap with rumours.
Chennai readers usually care when a collector, a disaster-management chair, or a revenue/archives posting changes how files move in the capital. Use the articles below as a paper trail, then confirm the scan. For the political roster (who holds which ministry), return to the Council of Ministers hub — that is a different desk.
