The improvement in the quality of higher education, therefore, deserves to be given tom-most priority to enable the young generation of students to acquire skill, training and knowledge to enhance their thinking, comprehension and application abilities and prepare them to compete, succeed and excel globally. Sustained initiatives are required to reform the present higher education system for improving and upgrading the academic resources and learning environments by raising the quality of teaching and standards of achievements in learning outcomes across all undergraduate programs in science, humanities, commerce and professional streams of higher education. One of the significant reforms in the undergraduate education is to introduce the Learning Outcomes-based Curriculum Framework (LOCF) which makes it student-centric, interactive and outcome-oriented with well-defined aims, objectives and goals to achieve. The University Grants Commission (UGC) took the initiative of implementing the LOCF in the Colleges and the Universities of the country. Accordingly, the University of Kerala has decided to implement the LOCF in all its departments under the auspices of Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC). A series of teacher training workshops were organised by IQAC and the office of the Credit and Semester System (CSS), and the departments have revised the syllabus accordingly, through workshops and in consultation with academic experts in the field. GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES (GAs) The Graduate Attributes (GAs) reflect particular qualities and abilities of an individual learner including knowledge, application of knowledge, professional and life skills, attitudes and human values that are required to be acquired by the graduates of University of Kerala. The graduate attributes include capabilities to strengthen one’s professional abilities for widening current knowledge and industry-ready skills, undertaking future studies for global and local application, performing creatively and professionally, in a chosen career and ultimately playing a constructive role as a socially responsible global citizen. The Graduate 2 Attributes define the characteristics of learners and describe a set of competencies that are beyond the study of a particular area and programme. The GAs of University of Kerala Continue life-long learning as an autonomous learner Continuously strive for excellence in education Apply and nurture critical and creative thinking Promote sustainable development practices Promote co-operation over competition Balance rights with responsibilities Understand and respect diversity & difference Not be prejudiced by gender, age, caste, religion, or nationality.

    Vol.1 No.1 July 2013 ISSN : 2321 – 788X Internet Based Learning For Ancient Tamil R. Nithya M.Phil. Scholar, Govt. Arts College, Ooty, Dr.E. Senavarayan Govt. Arts College, Ooty. Abstract The land of Tamil speech and people was in ancient times ruled by three famous lines of king, the Chera, Chola, and Pandiya. The land ruled by them was called Chera Nadu (Chera country), Chola Nadu (Chola country), and Pandiya Nadu (Pandiaya country) respectively. The landmass covered by the present-day Kerala State in the South India formed a major part of Chera Nadu, the Central and Northern parts of present Tamil Nadu were the then Chola Nadu and the Southern part of Tamil Nadu was the Pandiya Nadu. Tamils are of Dravidian origin. Many historians claim that the Dravidians, before the dawn of the history of the Tamils, were spread all over India. For various reason they split into small groups. Consequently, the original language also split into different languages. Tamil is found to have retained about 80 per cent of the features of the original Dravidian language.There are three major sub-groups in the Dravidian family of language, namely, South Dravidian, Central Dravidian, and North Dravidian.

A THESIS APPROVED FOR THE CHRISTOPHER C. GIBBS COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE BY THE COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF Callahan, Marjorie P., Chair Warnken, Charles G. Fithian, Lee A. ©Copyright by RAMYA PALANI 2019 All Rights Reserved. iv Abstract The Cholas (848 CE – 1279 CE) established an imperial line and united a large portion of what is now South India under their rule. The Cholas, known worldwide for their bronze sculptures, world heritage temples and land reforms, were also able builders. They followed a traditional systematic approach called Vaastu Sastra in building their cities, towns, and villages. In an attempt to discover and reconstruct Gangaikonda Cholapuram, an administrative capital (metropolis) of the Chola Dynasty, evidence is collected from the fragments of living inscriptions, epigraphs, archaeological excavation, secondary sources, and other sources pertinent to Vaastu Sastra. The research combines archival research methodology, archaeological documentation and informal architectural survey. The consolidation, analysis, and manipulation of data helps to uncover the urban infrastructure of Gangaikonda Cholapuram city.

  • Brief History of Jainism in Madurai Salient Features of the Caves
    Brief History of Jainism in Madurai By the close of 4th century BC., the Mauryan King Chandragupta and a group of Jain ascetics led by Sruthakevalin Bhadrabahu, migrated to Sravanabelagola in Karnataka, anticipating a severe famine in their country. Here, they started spreading the gospel of the Tirthankaras. Subsequently, after the death of Chandragupta and Bhadrabahu, their disciples moved south to the Chola and Pandya countries possibly in the beginning of the 3rd century BC. The early Brahmi inscriptions found in Madurai, Pasumpon and Tirunelveli Districts prove beyond doubt the antiquity of Jainism in Tamilnadu much earlier than the 2nd century BC. There are many natural caverns spread in all of Tamilnadu which once served as the abodes of Jaina monks. These caves are found amidst picturesque surroundings where the monks lived in splendid isolation engaging themselves in contemplation and religious pursuits. Some of the main Jain caves found in and around Madurai are Mangulam, Anaimalai, Arittapatti, Alagarmalai, Keelavalavu, Thiruvathavur, Varichiyur, Karungalakkudi, Thirupparankundram, Muthupatti, Kongarpuliangulam, Mettupatti, and Vikramangalam. All these places are about 8kms. to 30kms.These caves represent the earliest lithic monuments in this region containing the earliest epigraphic records in Brahmi characters that are from 2nd century BC to 3rd or 4th century AD. They also provide authentic evidence of the early spread of Jainism in Tamilnadu. Jainism gained momentum, both at the royal and rural levels. During the early 7th century AD, Gnanasambandar, the great Sivaite and Devaram hymnist, caused set back to Jainism and it supposedly resulted in thousands of Jaina followers being persecuted in Madurai.

  • BYJU's IAS Comprehensive News Analysis
    Sangam Literature Sangam literature is the name given to the earliest available Tamil literature. The Sangam age roughly extends between 300 BC and 300 AD*, although most of the work is believed to have been composed between 100 CE and 250 CE. The word ‘Sangam’ literally means association. Here, it implies an association of Tamil poets that flourished in ancient southern India. The Ancient Tamil Siddhar Agastyar is traditionally believed to have chaired the first Tamil Sangam in Madurai. This period is known as the Sangam Period. The three chief Tamil kingdoms of this period were the Cheras, the Cholas and the Pandyas. Sangam Literature Classification There were mainly three Sangams called Muchchangam. The chief sources of information for this age are archaeological sources, literary sources and foreign accounts. Sangam Literature Classification Based on Period of Composition Details of Sangam Literature Patinenmelkanakku 1. Works composed between 200 BCE to 100 BCE 2. Oldest surviving Tamil poetry Patinenkilkanakku 1. Works composed between 100 CE and 500 CE 2. Collection of 18 poetry compositions 3. Mostly composed before the age of the Pallavas 4. Chief works include Thirukkural, Palamoli, Naladiyar, etc. Based on the Context and Details of Sangam Literature Interpretation Aham (Inner) Abstract discussion on human aspects such as love, sexual relations, etc. Puram (outer) Human experiences such as heroism, customs, social life, ethics, philanthropy, etc. Sangam Literature – Three Sangams As mentioned before, Tamil legends talk about three Sangams: 1. Madurai 2. Kapadapuram 3. Thenmadurai Note: All the works of the first two Sangams except Tolkappiyam (2nd Sangam work) are lost.

A three-years stay, from July 2008 to June 2011, in the Hamburg Research Group entitled “Textual Variance in Dependence on the Medium”, graciously funded by the German Research Association, enabled me to win the necessary distance from my ongoing labour in the jungle of actual textual variation to try to give an outline of the larger picture for one instance of a phenomenon known in cultural history, namely the formation, deformation and reformation of a literary canon over a period of almost two thousand years.

  • A Primer of Tamil Literature
    This is a reproduction of a library book that was digitized by Google as part of an ongoing effort to preserve the information in books and make it universally accessible. https://books.google.com A PRIMER OF TAMIL LITERATURE BY iA. S. PURNALINGAM PILLAI, b.a., Professor of English, St. Michael's College, Coimbatore. PRINTED AT THE ANANDA PRESS. 1904. Price One Rupee or Two Shillings. (RECAP) .OS FOREWORD. The major portion of this Primer was written at Kttaiyapuram in 1892, and the whole has lain till now in manuscript needing my revision and retouching. Owing to pressure of work in Madras, I could spare no time for it, and the first four years of my service at Coim- batore were so fully taken up with my college work that I had hardly breathing time for any literary pursuit. The untimely death of Mr. V. G. Suryanarayana Sastriar, B.A., — my dear friend and fellow-editor of J nana Bodhini — warned me against further delay, and the Primer in its present form is the result of it. The Age of the Sangams was mainly rewritten, while the other Ages were merely touched up. In the absence of historical dates — for which we must wait, how long we do not know — I have tried my best with the help of the researches already made to divide, though roughly, twenty centuries of Tamil Literature into Six Ages, each Age being distinguished by some great movement, literary or religious. However .defective it may be in point of chronology, the Primer will justify its existence if it gives foreigners and our young men in the College classes whose mother-tongue is Tamil, an idea of the world of Tamil books we have despite the ravages of time and white-ants, flood and fire, foreign malignity and native lethargy.
