Death has taken away Dr. Raja Chellaih
RAJA JESUDOSS CHELLIAH, must have known better than anyone else about the certainty of death and taxes. The 87 year old Eminent economist died yesterday. Participating in the budget debate of 1992 in parliament, a member said, “Dr. Raja Chellaih is a Tamilian. He belongs to my neighbouring village. He was born in Kovilpatti . His recommendation is really good.”
He was Chairman of the Tax Reforms Committee in August 1991 and was adviser to the FM from 1993 to 1995.
One of the towering economists is no more.
