Today, 31st July 2009, our much respected Registrar Major(Retired) V K Premanadhan retired from CWRDM after 8 years successful service in the Centre. In fact this is the second retirement for him as the first one was from Indian Army after 20 years of distinguished service. He joined in CWRDM as Registrar on 30th June 2001 after the retirement of the erstwhile Registrar Shri Unnien Kutty. Shri Unnien Kutty was a strict officer considered everything very seriously and his actions were viewed suspiciously by the staff and his mannerism created a sense of fear and ill will towards him. When the news of selected person for the post of Registrar is a retired Major from Indian Army the staff of CWRDM felt that he will also be a hard person to tackle.
My first boss was a retired Major , Mr K C Ahammed Sahib, who was a very strict and serious person with high commanding power. So, I was under the impression that the present Major will also be a hard nut to crack. But on the contrary to our expectations he was a nice lovable person and he gave full freedom for the staff. He treated all problems lightly and didn't allowed to misuse the freedom. He was one among the staff in all issues of CWRDM.
In his tenure a great leap occurred in the field of infrastructure development and uplifting the Centre with Vision and Mission. He brought back all NMR workers to CWRDM head quarters at kunnamangalam. He has given full support to Dr E J James, the Executive Director at that time for the implementation of research activities as well as all programmes conducted by CWRDM. He was very sympathetic towards employees demands and his actions eventually succeded in getting a favorable order from Honorable High court of Kerala on the scale issue of the Technical Assistant Grade(2) and the order for the disbursement of the arrears of the long pending issue was also signed by him at the verge of his retirement.
Before coming to CWRDM he was serving as Principal in Bhavan's school, Chevayur. He is bestowed with Master of Personal Management and LL B degree. His wife is an employee of Veda Vyasa school, Calicut. They have one son and one daughter.
I wish him and his family a long healthy, happy and prosperous retired life
With Best wishes
