Sriram Venkitaraman Biography

Sriram Venkitaraman is an Indian medical doctor and 2012-batch IAS officer from Kerala. Trained in medicine and public health, he served in various Kerala

Early life and background

Sriram Venkitaraman was born on 28 November 1986 in Kerala. He grew up in the state and attended Bhavan’s Vidya Mandir in Girinagar for school. His father, P. R. Venkataraman, worked as a professor of zoology, and his mother, Rajam Ramamoorthy, was employed with the State Bank of India. He has a sister, Lakshmi, who is a doctor.

Education and training

Venkitaraman completed his medical training with an M.B.B.S. from Trivandrum Medical College and went on to earn an MD from Srirama Chandra Bhanja Medical College. He later obtained a Master’s in Public Health from Harvard University under the Fulbright Program. He has combined medical qualifications with administrative training, eventually joining the Indian Administrative Service.

Career

A member of the 2012 IAS batch allocated to the Kerala cadre, Sriram Venkitaraman served in several roles within the state administration. He worked as Sub-Collector in Devikulam, Idukki district, and later was appointed Director of the Kerala Survey Department in 2019. His background as a medical doctor and public health specialist informed his civil service work.

During his tenure as sub-collector in Devikulam, he became involved in enforcement actions in the hill station of Munnar where notices were issued to multiple resorts and constructions deemed unauthorized. Those actions were part of a broader effort to address illegal building activity in the area and drew significant attention.

Public profile

Venkitaraman’s public profile reflects the mixture of a medical and administrative career along with wider personal interests. He is reported to enjoy reading, watching films, street photography and travel. He has identified several favorite films and writers and lists sports such as basketball and cricket among his pastimes. He is also a dog owner.

Controversies

In March 2019 an on-road collision resulted in the death of journalist K. M. Basheer. The incident involved a vehicle in which Venkitaraman was a passenger; accounts of who was driving differed. Following the accident he sought medical attention and legal proceedings followed. Days after his arrest, the Kerala government ordered his suspension under the applicable All India Services discipline rules. In August 2019 he was granted bail when the prosecution’s evidence did not initially establish that he had been driving in an intoxicated state; that bail was later set aside amid further investigation, and fingerprint evidence reportedly emerged indicating his presence on the driver’s side of the vehicle.

Personal life

Sriram Venkitaraman is unmarried. He lists Hinduism as his religion. He has cited a range of literary and cinematic interests and has spoken about aspirations outside government service, including a desire to direct a film inspired by characters in Malayalam cinema. His favorite actors and writers have shaped the cultural tastes he mentions publicly.

Latest updates

By 2019 Venkitaraman held the post of Director at the Kerala Survey Department. The legal and administrative consequences of the 2019 road accident remained part of his public record through that year.
