Archaeological Survey of India, Guwahati Circle, Ambari, Guwahati – 781 001, Assam, India (Email: [email protected]) 2. Archaeological Survey of India, Excavation Branch – VI, Bangalore – 560 010, Karnataka, India (Email: [email protected], [email protected], snehamveera@ gmail.com) Received: 29 July 2018; Revised: 03 September 2018; Accepted: 18 October 2018 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 6 (2018): 30‐72 Abstract: The recent excavations at Keeladi have yielded interesting findings pertaining to the early historic period in southern Tamil Nadu. This article gives a comprehensive account of the prominent results obtained from two season excavations. The occurrence of elaborate brick structures, channels, paved brick floors associated with grooved roof tiles, terracotta ring wells in association with roulette ware and inscribed Tamil – Brahmi pot sherds is a rare phenomenon in the early historic phase of Tamil Nadu. The absolute dating (AMS) of the site to some extent coincides with the general perception of the so‐called Sangam period. Keywords: Keeladi, Early Historic, Excavation, Structures, Rouletted Ware, Tamil Brahmi, Ring Well Introduction The multi‐faceted antiquarian remains of Tamil Nadu occupy a place of its own in the archaeological map of India. It was indeed Tamil Nadu that put a firm base for the beginning of archaeological research in India especially prehistoric archaeology with the discovery of the first stone tool at Pallavaram near Madras by Sir Robert Bruce Foote in 1863. Ever since this discovery, Tamil Nadu witnessed many strides in the field of archaeological research carried out by various organizations including Archaeological Survey of India till date.

  • Time Management at Cscs in Selected Districts of Tamil Nadu
    Turkish Journal of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation; 32(3) ISSN 2651-4451 | e-ISSN 2651-446X TIME MANAGEMENT AT CSCS IN SELECTED DISTRICTS OF TAMIL NADU M.Sumathy Prof.D.Litt.Research Scholar , Madurai Kamraj University Madurai [email protected] ABSTRACT E-Governance services have been delivered to the public through Common Service Centres (CSCs) in Tamil Nadu. They are the authorized channels for the delivery of government services to the public. The Government has specified certain guidelines and the CSCs are permitted to deliver services after having followed the guidelines to the satisfaction of the relevant authorities. These CSCs are established in all the districts both in rural and urban areas. The customers of these centres can make available of the e- governance services at lesser time and charges. Hence, the public are interested in availing the government services rather than going to government offices and waiting for a long time to avail the services. The services of CSCs will be deemed successful and effective when they could satisfy the customers. The customers of CSCs expect that their requirements are to be fulfilled by the centres at the earliest. The districts like Coimbatore, Erode, Salem, Trichy, Madurai and Tirunelveli are developing and industrial districts next to Chennai. The present study aims at analyzing the time management at CSCs in these districts. A sample of 150 CSCs has been selected from these districts. The data have been collected and analyzed using appropriate statistical tools. The results of the study implied that the CSCs have been effectively managing the time. The time consuming factors were extraordinary flow of customers and their failure to bring the adequate records.
