The dedicated service of the priests, nuns and counsellors are highly commendable. These institutions teach and train the faithful the virtues of brotherhood, liberty, tolerance, and understanding. These institutions mould and shape the catholics to be a model to the other people of their surroundings. Kanyakumari ranks as one of the most developed districts of India for literacy, social and economic growth.The Christian faith especially the Latin Catholic faith has been working as the biggest force in motivating the people to undertake social welfare services.

    International Journal of Research ISSN NO:2236-6124 Prominent Muslim Jamaaths in Kanyakumari District A. SHAHILA BANU Ph.D. Research Scholar (Reg. No.11842) Department of History, Women’s Christian College, Nagercoil – 629 001. Affiliated to Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Abishekapatti, Tirunelveli – 627 012, Tamil Nadu, India. Abstract Islam in Kanyakumari District has been enriched by Fakirs and saintly savants of Islam. Due to their selfless service, Islam has thrived in this part of the country. The spread and growth of Islam is conspicuous by the presence of 52 Jamaaths in this district. These Jamaaths speak of their antiquity and they contain a lot of information regarding their life style and culture. In Kanyakumari District there are 52 Jamaaths. Among them six Muslim Jamaaths are considered very large and prominent. They are, Thengapattanam Muslim Jamaath, Colachel Muslim Jamaath, Thiruvithancode Muslim Jamaath, Thuckalay Muslim Jamaath, Elankadai Muslim Jamaath at Kottar, Malik Dinar faithulmal Muslim Jamaath, Kottar, Thittuvilai Muslim Jamaath. Some other Jamaaths are steadily growing in strength, stature and popularity. Keywords: Muslim Jamaath, Kanyakumari District, Life style, culture Introduction Jamaath means a Sangam, Federation or group based on some Islamic Principles. So it is said that a life without Jamaath is meaningless. If a Muslim keeps himself away from the Jamaath it means that he excommunicates himself from Islam. The Muslims form a Jamaath where they live and solve the problems that may arise out of marriage, divorce and other disputes. The solution to the problems would be based on the tenets of Holy Quran and the Hathees. Kanyakumari District Muslim Jamaath Federation was founded in 1982 at Thiruvithancode.

    Evaluation of Wind Energy Potential of the State of Tamil Nadu, India Based on N. Natarajan Trend Analysis Associate Professor, Department of Civil engineering, Dr. Mahalingam College of An accurate estimate of wind resource assessment is essential for the Engineering and Technology, Pollachi Tamil Nadu identification of potential site for wind farm development. The hourly India average wind speed measured at 50 m above ground level over a period of 39 years (1980- 2018) from 25 locations in Tamil Nadu, India have been S. Rehman used in this study. The annual and seasonal wind speed trends are Associate professor, Center for Engineering Research, King Fahd University of analyzed using linear and Mann-Kendall statistical methods.
