Shri P.P.Ramachandran, Ex-DGM (popularly known as PPR amongst RBIetis) serving the Bank for almost 40 years retired from DBOD in October 1996 only to get retyred just to prove that “It is easy to take a person out of RBI, but very difficult to take RBI out of him/her”. When he joined the Bank on December 4, 1956 the Governor was Sir Benegal Rama Rau - the second Indian Governor. Forty years later when he retired on October 31, 1996 the Governor was Dr C.Rangarajan, who was the 19th Governor. Having worked under 17 Governors, a septuagenarian veteran PPR has virtually become a walkepaedia (walking encyclopaedia) of the history of RBI. At the age of 76, he is still actively in touch with RBI on various issues like updation of pension, woes of retirees etc. Having flair to read, review and write, PPR has correspondence with great personalities to name a few, Rajaji, Radhakrishnan, Kalam, Khushwant Singh, Paul Gallico and others. He has at his credit 20 RBI related books. “I Can Do Financial Planning” – is a book published by the Reserve Bank during its Platinum Jubilee year, which was reviewed by him.
