  • CHAPTER-I! FORMATION of DEVASWOM DEPARTMENT The
    CHAPTER-I! FORMATION OF DEVASWOM DEPARTMENT The year 1811 is important in the history of temple administration in Travancore as it was the year in which the state government assumed direct management of 348 major and 1123 minor devaswoms on the initiative of resident dewan, Col. Munro, with the approval of the sovereign, Rani Gowri Lakshmi Bai (1810- 1815). The reasons stated by Col. Munro for assumption of such temples were many and manifold. The sannad written by him on 3rd Kanni 987 M.E (September 1811) was a clear evidence to substantiate the reasons attributed to his act of assumption of temples'. The Circumstances which lead to the formation of the devaswom department originated from the ugly state of administration of temples by the uralars, the temple trustees, that culminated into the take over of such temples by Col. Munro. He said, "The devaswom affairs in this country have long been the 1 Col.Munro, Anu of Sannad addressed to the Nine Mukathu Sarvathikariakars, 987 M.E(A.D. 1811) 31 subject of my anxiety, because the landed properties of devaswoms are uncultivated and yield no revenue and on account of frauds, there are heavy arrears and defaults in ceremonies in the devaswoms. Frauds and discrepancies are taking place in the expenditure laid down for the devaswoms and in connection with pattuparivattam (cloth for the idol), thiruvabharanam (ornaments for the idol) and temple vessels 2". He also pointed out that the temples were not being thatched or repaired from time to time and they were in a dilapidated condition.

    University of Iowa Eco-sensitive Low-cost Housing: The Kerala experience India Winterim program 2011-12: December 27, 2011-January 15, 2012 Instructor: Jerry Anthony ([email protected]) Winterim India Program Coordinator: R. Rajagopal ([email protected]) Course description Good quality housing is a basic human need. However, it is not always available or if available is not priced at reasonable levels. This forces millions of families all over the world to live in bad quality or unaffordable housing, causing significant socio-economic, physical and financial problems. The scope and scale of the housing shortage is markedly greater in developing countries: one, because of the sheer number of people that need such housing, and two, because of the lack of public and private resources to address this crisis. These constraints have forced governments and non-profits in developing countries such as India to devise innovative lower-cost housing construction technologies that feature a high labor component, use many renewable resources, and have low impacts on the environment. This course will provide an extraordinary opportunity to advanced undergraduate and graduate students and interested persons from Iowa, to travel to India, interact with highly acclaimed housing professionals, learn about many innovative eco-sensitive housing techniques, and conduct independent research on a housing topic of one’s choice. All course participants will develop a clearer understanding of the conflicting challenges of economic development and environmental protection, and of culture, politics and the uneven geography of opportunity in a developing country. The course will be located in the city of Trivandrum (also called Thiruvananthapuram), the capital city of the state of Kerala.
