  • Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview
    Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview Tamil Nadu is bordered by Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Sri Lanka, which has a significant Tamil minority, lies off the southeast coast. Tamil Nadu, with its traceable history of continuous human habitation since pre-historic times has cultural traditions amongst the oldest in the world. Colonised by the East India Company, Tamil Nadu was eventually incorporated into the Madras Presidency. After the independence of India, the state of Tamil Nadu was created in 1969 based on linguistic boundaries. The politics of Tamil Nadu has been dominated by DMK and AIADMK, which are the products of the Dravidian movement that demanded concessions for the 'Dravidian' population of Tamil Nadu. Lying on a low plain along the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, Anai Malai hills and Palakkad (Palghat Gap) on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and the Gulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as Kaveri, Palar and Vaigai and by the northeast monsoon. Traditionally an agricultural state, Tamil Nadu is a leading producer of agricultural products. Tribal Population As per 2001 census, out of the total state population of 62,405,679, the population of Scheduled Castes is 11,857,504 and that of Scheduled Tribes is 651,321. This constitutes 19% and 1.04% of the total population respectively.1 Further, the literacy level of the Adi Dravidar is only 63.19% and that of Tribal is 41.53%.

Beulah Vijayarani, 1Asst. Prof. in Commerce, 2Head and Asst. Prof. in Commerce 1Department of Commerce, 1Providence College for Women, Coonoor, India. Abstract : The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the awareness and perception of the Tamilnadu Government’s New Health Insurance Scheme among the government school teachers of the Nilgiris district. Statistical tools like percentage analysis and anova are used to derive the answer for the set objectives. IndexTerms - master policy. Health insurance, out-of-pocket expenses. I. INTRODUCTION II. The precursor of health insurance began in Texas by Justin Kimball. He established an organization called Blue Cross and this organization allowed teachers in that place to pay 50 cents every month so that they can avail cashless maternity care for 21 days. This concept later spread wide. III. In India ESI is the precursor of health insurance. The Employees State Insurance Act was passed in 1948 as the need for social security was felt and this instigated the beginning of Health Insurance. The government first introduced the health insurance for its employees (ESIS) as a social security scheme. Service was provided through its own dispensaries and hospitals. Following this the central government introduced its health insurance scheme (CGHS) in 1954. For the other sectors health insurance started in the year 1986. IV. The employer funded health insurance schemes have problems and controversies no matter wherever it is implemented throughout the world.

  • Kothagiri Town Panchayat Is Not Provided with Underground Sewerage System
    City Corporate cum Business Plan for Kotagiri Town Panchayat Final Report Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu - 1 - 1 PROJECT OVERVIEW 1.1 ASSIGNMENT BACKGROUND The World Bank has been a partner in urban reform program of Government of Tamil Nadu (GoTN) with engagement through Tamil Nadu Urban Development Project (TNUDP) - TNUDP-I, TNUDP-II and TNUDP-III (in progress). Towards taking forward the urban reform agenda, the GoTN is now implementing the TNUDP-III with focus on furthering the reforms initiated under TNUDP-II. The Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Financial Services Limited (TNUIFSL), as a financial intermediary, intends to assist the Commissionerate of Town Panchayats (CTP) in strengthening and improving the financial position of its Town Panchayats for effective capital investment management and urban service delivery. These towns possess a good potential for implementation of such financial reforms for which it is essential to formulate a City Corporate Cum Business Plan. The CTP has started the process of capacity building in Town Panchayats through this process to enhance the vision of the ULBs in growth of their towns. 1.1.1 CITY CORPORATE PLAN A City Corporate Plan (CCP) is the ULB’s corporate strategy that presents both a vision of a desired future perspective for the city and the ULB’s organization, and mission statements on how the ULB, together with other stakeholders, intends to work towards achieving their long-term vision in the next ten years. A CCP translates mission into actions and actions into outcomes. When a CCP is developed in close consultation with, and endorsed by all relevant local stakeholders, a ULB and others who commit themselves to action can be held accountable for their mission statements, actions and expected outcomes.

  • A Logistic Regression Model Case Study in Coonoor, India
    hydrology Article Landslide Susceptibility Analysis: A Logistic Regression Model Case Study in Coonoor, India Evangelin Ramani Sujatha 1 and Venkataramana Sridhar 2,* 1 Centre for Advanced Research on Environment, School of Civil Engineering, SASTRA Deemed to be University, Thanjavur 613401, India; [email protected] 2 Biological Systems Engineering Department, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Landslides are a common geologic hazard that disrupts the social and economic balance of the affected society. Therefore, identifying zones prone to landslides is necessary for safe living and the minimal disruption of economic activities in the event of the hazard. The factors causing landslides are often a function of the local geo-environmental set-up and need a region-specific study. This study evaluates the site characteristics primarily altered by anthropogenic activities to understand and identify the various factors causing landslides in Coonoor Taluk of Uthagamandalam District in Tamil Nadu, India. Studies on landslide susceptibility show that slope gradient, aspect, relative relief, topographic wetness index, soil type, and land use of the region influence slope instability. Rainfall characteristics have also played a significant role in causing landslides. Logistic Regression, a popular statistical tool used for predictive analysis, is employed to assess the various selected factors’ impact on landslide susceptibility. The factors are weighted and combined in a GIS platform to develop the region’s landslide susceptibility map. This region has a direct link between natural physical systems, hydrology, and humans from the socio-hydrological perspective. The landslide susceptibility map derived using the watershed’s physical and environmental conditions Citation: Sujatha, E.R.; Sridhar, V.

  • Landslides in Nilgiris: Causal Factors and Remedial Measures
    Indian Geotechnical Conference IGC2016 15-17 December 2016, IIT Madras, Chennai, India LANDSLIDES IN NILGIRIS: CAUSAL FACTORS AND REMEDIAL MEASURES S.S. Chandrasekaran1 V. Senthilkumar2 V. B. Maji3 1Associate Professor, Geotechnical Engineering, SCALE, VIT University, Vellore 2 Research scholar, Geotechnical Engineering, SCALE, VIT University, Vellore 3Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Madras, Chennai Email ID: [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] Abstract Landslide is a major natural hazard which affects 15% land area of the country. Himalayas and Nilgiris are most affected locations due to landslides in India. Rainfall is the major triggering factor for landslides in Nilgiris, whereas some of the Himalayan regions experienced landslides due to combination of rainfall and earthquake. Though the rainfall is a major triggering factor, some of the other causative factors are also responsible for triggering of landslides in Nilgiris. The present study gives an over view of the various causal factors involved in triggering of landslides in Nilgiris. It is found that, cutting of slope at toe, heavy loading on slope at crest, blocking of surface drainage system and choking of weep holes in retaining structures, improper planning and design/implementation of remedial measures, vegetation removal and dumping are possibly the main causal factors for most of the landslides in Nilgiris during heavy rainfall. The study also suggest, though the retaining walls are commonly adopted as remedial measures, cost effective subsurface drainage systems together with slope reinforcement might be effective solution to control the landslides in many locations. Present study also gives an over view on the use of numerical analysis pertaining to landslides in Nilgiris together with on-going detailed site specific geotechnical investigation.
