Dr. T.V. Swaminathan IAS (Rtd)
Former PWD Secretary to Government of Kerala
Of the countless persons encountered in the span of one’s life, it can be confidently and deservedly said of only very few “death, be not proud; for the eminent individual whose biological life you have sniffed out lies permanently in the memory of generations”. Sri T.K. Divakaran belongs to this microscopic minority for his commitment to the responsibilities fearlessly and faultlessly.
G. Bhaskaran Nair IAS (Rtd)
Former Chief Secretary and Advisor to the Governor
Mr. T.K. Divakaran with whom I was associated during my tenure as Secretary to Government for General Administration and Tourism is one of the unforgettable vcharacters I have met. His graceful manners and smiling face left an indelible impression in one’s mind. What impressed me most was his extraordinary ability to grasp the intricacies of service problems and suggest solutions. He also made significant contributions in the development of Tourism in the State, particularly in regard to the Resortsat Kovalam and Kumarakom. An able and good man.
