Agastheeswaram taluk was transferred from Thiruvananthapuram District of the Travancore-Cochin State to Kanyakumari district. The origins of Jainism can be traced back to the Indus River valley civilization of 3000 B.C. Jains believe that there were 24 great teachers. These twenty-four teachers are called Tirthankaras-people who had attained all knowledge while living (Moksha) and preached it to the people. They believe in reincarnation. From a very early date Jainism flourished in Agasteeswaram taluk. The Jains believe that their religion is as old as Vedic religion. The religion of Jains was probably founded by Parsvanath known as the twenty-third Jain Tirthankara. The Jains paid due attention to the excavation of caverns, cave temples and buildings of structural temples with sculptures of Tirthankaras and their attendants such a Yakshas and Yakshis. There are no hills except the Maruthuva Mala (Medicine hill) which is noted for the numerous medicinal herbs which grow there. Maruthuvamala attracts spiritualists seeking solace in solitude. Further, the paper focuses on the spread of Jainism within Agasteeswaram taluk. Introduction Agasteeswaram taluk has great historical and cultural antiquity. It was a centre of Hinduism. -

The Yoke of Linked Credit : a Study of Coastal Villages in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu
Journal of Rural Development, Vol. 33 No. (2) pp. 161-172 NIRD, Hyderabad. THE YOKE OF LINKED CREDIT : A STUDY OF COASTAL VILLAGES IN KANYAKUMARI DISTRICT, TAMIL NADU S.Sahayaselvi* ABSTRACT Almost in everyone’s life, credit becomes important as it serves as a shock-absorber in handling the difficulties of personal economy. In particular, it comes to be a life-support in the lives of fishermen because of the hazardous nature of their occupation, seasonal income and the paucity of funds. To maintain their trade and more often for their survival itself, the fishermen in the coastal sector of Kanyakumari district (study area) are found to be using both formal and informal credit sources. It has been found that the formal sources hardly lend down credit to these fishermen due to non-collateral security requirements, thus forcing the fishermen to have recourse to the informal sources for their credit needs which pushes the sample respondents' either into market linked or labour linked credit. This type of credit binds the fishermen to sell their catch at under-pricing or under-weighing. As a consequence, result from 376 samples indicate that irrespective of the crafts they own, an average sample respondents' economic position is reported to be low and they live in utter poverty with a hand to mouth situation. The fishermen, who borrow loans and advances, opt for this slow poison which has a stranglehold on them throughout their lives. This paper presents a number of recommendations for policy interventions to redress this danger and to uplift the economic condition of the fisherfolk who contribute 1.10 per cent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Indian economy. -

Each of which signifies high degree workmanship and dedication. The structures portray the known and the unknown. It remains an eternal representation of man’s conception of the supreme and hence he delineates HIM in his own very way of representation. Through the enormous literatures on the scientific erection of the temples, various breathtaking compositions come alive in stones. The obvious ones have received wider acclaim and prone to deeper study. Yet, the complexity and the divergence of myriad temple structures conceal certain structural facets which encompasses stunning and less adored pieces of worship and creativity. Two such structural and iconographic representations, that stood overlooked among the mighty columns of great temples‐the Jvaradevamurti at Suchindram and the Ravana at Valvichchakottamare prone to appraisal. Keywords: Suchindram, Kanyakumari, Jvaradevata, Valvichchakottam, Ravana, Marthanda Varma, Epigraphy Introduction Being a religious institution and place of worship, the temple in India has had a hoary past. It enshrines the deity or some object of veneration and has varied growth in several parts of India. They acted as cradles of great Indian religions and their fusions over time. While retaining the common Indian plans and elevations, and the native principles and techniques of construction, showed their creedal distinctions by suitable adaptations of their forms. -

Phytoplankton Diversity of Suchindram Pond of Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, South India
International Journal of Academic Research and Development International Journal of Academic Research and Development ISSN: 2455-4197 Impact Factor: RJIF 5.22 www.academicsjournal.com Volume 2; Issue 6; November 2017; Page No. 1135-1140 Phytoplankton diversity of Suchindram pond of Kanyakumari district, Tamil Nadu, south India 1 Mary Kensa V, 2 Jespin Ida C 1 PG Department of Botany and Research Centre, ST Hindu College, Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, India 2 Department of Botany, Holy Cross College (Autonomous), Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract The study discusses the phytoplankton diversity of the Suchindram pond for a period of two years (2011-2013). Through a field survey, the population density of phytoplankton and their percentage composition observed in Suchindram pond varied much between sampling months during the study period. Among the identified groups Cyanophyceae was dominant. The next dominant groups were Chlorophyceae and Bacillariophyceae. Flagellates were recorded as the least dominant group in this pond. The lowest biomass value was recorded for Flagellates. The class Dinophyceae and Chrysophyceae were represented with minimum biomass while the class Euglenophyceae contributed to the maximum. Genera such as Ceratium and Peridinium of Dinophyceae were noticed during the northeast monsoon season in both the years of study. The class Chrysophyceae was represented with one genus with only one species i.e. Dinobryon sertularia. This species showed its appearance during southwest monsoon. The different species of each genus were distributed more frequently during summer months and with less frequency in other months. Low representation of desmids in Suchindram kulam represents the eutrophic nature of that pond. The data of Suchindram pond confirmed that the pond is already in eutrophic conditions.
