The correct answer is R. Lalvena.

The other members of the committee include secretaries of the Labour Welfare and Skill Development Department and Human Resources Development Department, Commissioner for the Welfare of the Differently Abled, Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, Secretary of the Teachers Recruitment Board, Chairman of the Medical Services Recruitment Board, Director of Employment and Training and the Registrar of Co-operative Societies.
