Tamil Nadu Government Departments - History

17th century

1670: The Tamil Nadu Secretariat started with the Public Department, which was created in 1670. During that period, there was a provision of one Secretary in the "Public Department", who dealt with all the business of the Government. This Department was also called the Chief Secretariat of the Madras Presidency.

18th century

1752: During the French Wars and consequent alliance with the Nawab of Arcot, English East India Company emerged as a political power in India and its territories were also extended. Consequently, the administrative activities of various branches under the control of the council (Government) also expanded, and new departments were created. Accordingly, "Military Department" was established in 1752. The newly created Military Department continued till 1895.

1774: Later, another Department called the "Revenue Department" was established in 1774, and all the revenue matters were withdrawn from the Public Department and entrusted to the Revenue Department. The system of two Secretaries came into existence soon after the creation of Military Department. One Secretary was made responsible to deal with the Military, Political and secret matters, While the other was associated with the public and revenue matters. The arrangement continued till 1797.
