Tirunelveli City Municipal Corporation

Tirunelveli – the eight year old infant among the Corporation of Tamil Nadu, is a land which has so many laurels to her credit.

This is a land of sages – much evident from epics and puranas. Christening of this place itself bears testimony to its antiquity and divinity.

This is a land of freedom fighters as evidenced by the participants from militant patriots like Shri Wanchi Nathan , Veera Pandiya Kattabomman and revolutionists like Shri V.O.Chidambaram, Shri Subramaniya Bharathiyar, Shri Subramaniya Siva and others.

This is the birth land of industrialists like T.V.S. Simpsons, Easun, India Cements – and also the origin of great News Papers like Thina Thanthi etc.

This is the land that has pernnial water supply through “Tamiraparani” – the only virgin perennial Indian river supplying water to the undivided Tirunelveli District.

This is the land that is famous all over India for its “Halwa” production and even known as Halwa City.

This Corporation is farmed by merging three municipalities i.e Tirunelveli , Palayamkottai and Melapalyam – and few Panchayat areas.

Madurai’s Potential Lost in past

What do you know about Madurai-TamilNadu?

You may know – Madurai is known as :
ATHENS OF THE EAST
TEMPLE CITY OF INDIA
LAND OF NECTARS etc…

You may Know – Madurai is famous for its :

Meenakshi Temple
Tradition and Culture
Fragrant-smell JASMINE Flowers
Granite Marble stones
Tasty Food etc.,

While asking experienced people – they’ll reply :

Madurai lacks Industrialization so lost millions of its native people to other cities.

That is real truth ! Did you know one thing ?

Our Temple city Madurai is losing nearly 40,000 Graduates every year to other cities like Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai and losing 50% of its Man-power to the industrialised cities like Coimbatore, Tirupur and Erode due to Unemployment.

Just Imagine the status of our city if those people remained here for work! None of the previous Governments took efforts to develop the Historic temple city. We had lost a Second MetroPolitan city of TamilNadu – YES !!! – Our Madurai might have become a Metropolitan city some decades ago next to those 4 Cities like what PUNE,BANGALORE,HYDERABAD is now emerging!! If there was a proper Governance and Good Local Administration.

But Taking its Potential into account – Our Present State and Central Governments had come forward atlast to develop our City Madurai right now.

Do anyone of you know its results ?

MADURAI is the only Tier-II City which attracted the Investments for More than Rs.50,000 Crores in the last two years which is now equal to the same power of Metros and Mini Metro cities of India.
