London-based bureaucrat dedicates honour to late father.
Making us proud: Chelliah-Manning has lived in the United Kingdom since 1981.
The London-based Jane, an assistant director of the Department for Business, will receive the Member of the Order of the British Empire from King Charles III at a date yet to be determined. Jane, who holds a Master’s degree in international relations from the London School of Economics, said she dedicates her MBE award to her late father, John Chelliah, who had always encouraged her to reach for the skies.
In the spirit of the New Year, Jane said her resolution is to use her MBE in a positive way, adding that her main objective has always been about public service and helping others.“My younger self would be very proud of me,” she said, revealing that she had wanted to read law when she was younger. She spoke of several encounters with people who asked whether she was a nanny for her daughter because of their different skin colours.
