Balasubramanian1 and P. Loganathan2 1Ph.D - Research Scholar (Full time) , Department of History , Annamalai University ,Annamalainagar. 2Assistant Professor , Department of History , Annamalai University , Annamalainagar. ABSTRACT Trichinopoly is reputed for the antiquity of its civilization situated on the banks of Cauvery. It has been the centre of many empires and battle fields, besides being an important strategic place. It is also chiefly noticeable for its remarkable Rock Temple and the group of temples clustered in and around it. Trichinopoly District shines as a prominent centre of education in TamilNadu on par with other important places in India. A beginning in modern education was made by the Christian Missionaries in Trichinopoly district to propagate the religion through educational Institutions. The Tranquebar Danish Mission was the pioneer in spreading education in the district. As early as in 1756, two of the missionaries, tracked many places in the district, founded schools in Srirangam and Trichinopoly. In 1854, the Society for the Propagation of Gospel (SPG) in foreign parts supported not less than 186 schools, the majority of which were in the district of Trichinopoly and composite districts of Madura, Tanjore and Tinnelvelli. The Missionaries took keen interest in education to the students of depressed classes at the time when the government did very little to shoulder the responsibility in this regard. The earnest efforts for the spread of higher education to the students of depressed classes in Trichinopoly district were made by Christian Missionaries during the first half of the 19th century.

Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu is located in the South East of India and lies at a mere 6.7m above mean sea level. Chennai is in a vulnerable location due to storm surges as well as tropical cyclones that bring about heavy rains and yearly floods. The 2004 Tsunami greatly affected the coast, and rapid urbanization, accompanied by the reduction in the natural drain capacity of the ground caused by encroachments on marshes, wetlands and other ecologically sensitive and permeable areas has contributed to repeat flood events in the city. Channelized rivers and canals contaminated through the presence of informal settlements and garbage has exasperated the situation. Natural and man-made water infrastructures that include, monsoon water harvesting and storage systems such as the Temple tanks and reservoirs have been polluted, and have fallen into disuse.

    ORIGINAL ARTICLE ISSN:-2231-5063 Golden Research Thoughts BRITISH IN THE WALLAJAH - MYSORE STRUGGLE FOR TIRUCHIRAPPALLI Abstract:- Mohammad Ali, the Nawab of Arcot had sought the alliance of Mysore against Chanda Sahib on condition that he would cede Tiruchirappalli to Mysore if he succeeded in the conflict. But Mohammed Ali flagrantly violated his solemn assurance and refused the cession of Tiruchirappalli to Mysore. However, Srirangam was left to be occupied by the Mysorean. In 1752, there ensued a struggle between the two groups of native power over the region of Tiruchirappalli. The British involved in the struggle in favour of Mohammed Ali to drive away the Mysoreans form the soil of the Tiruchirappalli. Mohammed Ali at first told the Mysore Rajah that he would consider the Rajah's demand after two months. When the Mysore King, Nanja Rajah pressed, Mohammed Ali said that the territory belonged to the Mughals and he could not alienate the Mughal's property. He was supported by the British and the native powers of Pudukkottai and Tanjore. On the other hand, the Mysore king got the assistance of Murari Rao, the Maratha Chief, the French and the Maravars. Eventually in the Wallajah - Mysore conflict over Tiruchirappalli region, the cause of the Nawab’s was won with the military aid and assistance of the British. However the growing influence of the British in Tiruchirappalli region eroded the power of the Nawab Wallajah there. The introduction of assignment and assumption brought the Tiruchirappalli region under S. Nalina the direct control of the British.
