    GRT Golden ReseaRch ThouGhTs ISSN: 2231-5063 Impact Factor : 4.6052 (UIF) Volume - 6 | Issue - 7 | January – 2017 ___________________________________________________________________________________ RAMANATHAPURAM : PAST AND PRESENT- A BIRD’S EYE VIEW Dr. A. Vadivel Department of History , Presidency College , Chennai , Tamil Nadu. ABSTRACT The present paper is an attempt to focus the physical features, present position and past history of the Ramnad District which was formed in the tail end of the Eighteenth Century. No doubt, the Ramnad District is the oldest district among the districts of the erstwhile Madras Presidency and the present Tamil Nadu. The District was formed by the British with the aim to suppress the southern poligars of the Tamil Country . For a while the southern poligars were rebellious against the expansion of the British hegemony in the south Tamil Country. After the formation of the Madras Presidency , this district became one of its districts. For sometimes it was merged with Madurai District and again its collectorate was formed in 1910. In the independent Tamil Nadu, it was trifurcated into Ramnad, Sivagangai and Viudhunagar districts. The district is, historically, a unique in many ways in the past and present. It was a war-torn region in the Eighteenth Century and famine affected region in the Nineteenth Century, and a region known for the rule of Setupathis. Many freedom fighters emerged in this district and contributed much for the growth of the spirit of nationalism. KEY WORDS : Ramanathapuram, Ramnad, District, Maravas, Setupathi, British Subsidiary System, Doctrine of Lapse ,Dalhousie, Poligars. INTRODUCTION :i Situated in the south east corner of Tamil Nadu State, Ramanathapuram District is highly drought prone and most backward in development.

[1]The waves, tides, depositional, erosional and Fluvio-Marine Landforms.The wave-induced currents, wind-induced currents interact with depositional components like, beach ridges,swales,spit, sand each other to produce energy input which shapes and alters the dunes.The erosional elements like wave-cut Platform, marine Terrace and fluvio marine lanforms like deltaic plain, flood coastal setting. Apart from these natural phenomena and plain noticed.from the investigation, it has been found that the processes, there is also another dimension by which the satellite information is exceptionally helpful and successful for coastal environment could be altered negatively or damaged getting the aftereffects of fleeting changes.

To improve our understanding of the status of Gulf of Mannar marine aquariumtrade in India, information on harvested species and their volume was gathered at the major IUCN Red List collection hubs (Tuticorin, Kilakarai and Mandapam) in the Gulf of Mannar region, and compared to the export Market discrepancy data. During one year, 87 species of fish (51% belonging to the family Pomacentridae) and 21 species of invertebrates were harvested for the trade. The conservation status of exploited species revealed that nearly 50% (n=43) have not been assessed for their extinction risk by the IUCN, while of the 44 species assessed, 41 were Least Concern (LC), and one each was in the Data Deficient (DD), Near Threatened (NT) and Endangered (EN) categories.

Sivasankar1* and T. Ramachandramoorthy2 1Department of Chemistry, Thiagarajar college of Engineering (Autonomous), Madurai – 625015, Tamil Nadu, India 2PG and Research Department of Chemistry, Bishop Heber College (Autonomous), Tiruchirappalli – 620 017, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract The fluoride content in 419 groundwater samples from different sources in Rameswaram area, Southern India was determined in addition to the other physico-chemical parameters. From the results, it was evaluated that about 15% of the groundwater samples were found to contain the F content greater than the WHO recommended limit of 1.5 mg/l. The dental fluorosis survey among the school children also revealed that the percentage of boy victims was greater than the girl victims. The correlation values between Total Alkalinity (TA) and Fluoride (F) is evident for the leaching of Fluoride into the groundwater of the study area. Keywords: Rameswaram; Fluoride; Groundwater; Dental fluorosis Materials and Methods Introduction Details of the study area Fluoride in small amounts is an essential component for normal As far as the Hindus are concerned, pilgrimage is an essential mineralization of bones and formation of dental enamel [1]. The part of their life for worship of God by undertaking ‘sthala yathra’.
