BAUXITE: Bauxite, ore of Aluminium, occur in the form of cappings in the Shevaroy hills of Yercaud Taluk. The shevaroy hills are chiefly made up of the Charnockite group of rocks interBanded with metasedimentary units and cut across by dykes of dolerite. Only low grade bauxite available at the depth of maximum 2m in all the hills followed by ferruginous clay. 2. IRON ORE: A) KANJAMALAI The Iron ore deposits of Kanjamalai hill is of Banded Magnetite Quartzite. Kanjamalai is situated about 8 Km West of Salem Town. It is about seven kilometres long and four kilometres wide and rises to a maximum height of 986 metres above Mean sea level. The Iron ore outcrops of scattered, generally the Magnetite Quartzites occur at three distinct levels. The first or lowermost band occurs near to the base of the Kanjamalai. It can be traced over a length of some 13 Kilometres. The width is very variable (probably depending to some extent on the degree of tight folding) but the average width is about 25 metres. The second or middle band occurs some 300 metres about the plain. In outcrop it is discontinuous over its strike length of about 6 kilometres. The third and uppermost and occurs some 60 metres higher than the second band at a height of some 350 to 370 metres above ground level. The band is about 10 kilometres long (around the complete elliptical outcrop) and about 10 metres wide. The ore in the first and second bands appears similar with an iron content of 33 to 39% Fe. In the band cropping out at the highest level the rock is much more siliceous with a much lower iron content and there is more hematite present.

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.

The demand of water is increasing day by day. So, groundwater resources play a vital role for additional demand by farmers and Industries and domestic usage leads to rapid development of groundwater. About 63% of available groundwater resources are now being used. However, the development is not uniform all over the State, and in certain districts of Tamil Nadu, intensive groundwater development had led to declining water levels, increasing trend of Over Exploited and Critical Firkas, saline water intrusion, etc. ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP The geographical extent of Theni District is 3, 24,230 hectares or 3,242.30 sq.km. Accounting for 2.05 percent of the geographical area of Tamilnadu State. The district has well laid roads and railway lines connecting all major towns within and outside the State. For administrative purpose, the district has been bifurcated into 5 Taluks, 8 Blocks and 17 Firkas .

    Title: Problems Being Faced by Farmers in Hilly Areas of Theni District in Periakulam Constituency, Tamil Nadu

    > Title: Problems being faced by farmers in hilly areas of Theni district in Periakulam Constituency, Tamil Nadu. SHRI J.M. AARON RASHID (PERIYAKULAM): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to bring to the notice of the Government, specially the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Rural Development the pitiable condition of the farmers in my Parliamentary constituency. Sir, Theni District, fully consists of mountainous and hilly areas like Koadikanal, Megamalai, Highwaywis, Kambam Mettu, Bodimettu, Agamalai etc. The small and marginal farmers grow various vegetables like potato, brinjal, beans, cabbage, cauliflower etc., and fruits like plums, berry, butter fruit, pineapple, apple, hill plantain etc. with their toil standing in Sun and rain. When these vegetables are ready, they have to carry them on their heads in baskets or employ ponies, the small horses, to bring the same thing to the markets and to the main roads for transportation. There are no proper village roads. In the last rainy season, because of torrential rains, tonnes of vegetables and fruits could not be brought to the market and they perished and farmers were forced to just throw them away. Sir, I would request the Government to put a cold-storage in that area so that the farmers will be benefited. Sometimes the rates are very low. In those days they are throwing out cauliflower, beans etc. on the roads. If the Government puts two cold-storages, one in Kambam valley and another in Kodaikanal valley, the farmers would be benefited. वे लोग जो सामान बनाते ह, उस े रखने के िलए कोड टोरे ज बहत जरी है.

The indicators assessed in the low cane yielding zone reflected slightly acidic pH (6.70), lower CEC (11.9 cmol (p+) kg-1) and low organic carbon (0.14 percent). The positive effects of soil physico - chemical and biological indicators on the sugarcane yield was well proved through the yield data of the high yielding zone.
