In some sense, this publication was replaced, and quite effectively in most ways, by Facebook and other forms of social media; It is likely that we as Kodai School and KIS alumni are more in touch with each other than ever before. Nevertheless, there remains something special about holding a non-virtual compendium of Kodai class news in your hands. It provides a sense of both wonder and perspective, to see the wide range of Us across the years and across the globe. Since 2016 marks the 115th year of our journey as an institution, we have decided to celebrate by printing this special edition of the Alumni Magazine. We hope you enjoy it, and we welcome your feedback. This magazine would not have been possible without the efforts of Yvonne Dovlo, our Alumni Officer, Rohit Benjamin, who is volun- teering in our KISCo department and our Class Representatives around the world. Thank you! Furthermore, I want to take this op- portunity to underline the special relationship that KIS has with Kodai Friends International (KFI). KFI continues to do tremendous work in North America, sharing the news about KIS and helping in so many ways to further our mission. We are so grateful for the efforts of Julie Stengele, Dr. Jeetu Nanda, and the KFI Board of Directors as we continue to find ways to enrich the ties that you have with this wonderful school and community. My personal request to each one of you is to find ways to stay engaged with both KIS and KFI. Bequeathed from our history and our proud heritage, and woven into the fabric of our identity, is a distinct vision that is so relevant to these times: “We are a school the world needs: Our students leave KIS with the vision, knowledge, compassion, and cross-cultural understanding to be thought- ful, caring and transformative individuals who endeavour to make the world a better place.” God bless!

It has metamorphosed from its small beginnings with in). In conclusion, I will like to thank all Alumni who have just 13 missionary children to an Internationally acclaimed generously donated to KIS over the years. We appreciate Residential school in India and abroad. In its over a century your support and commitment to this great institution. of history, KIS has remained dedicated to creating academic and residential programs for people of all ethnic, religious, socio-economic and national backgrounds. And as new gen- erations of students have joined, the school has adapted to serve new interests and emerging areas of study. Certainly, KIS is not only a prominent school for its academic prowess and holistic approach to education, but also for its ethos as a school ‘to recognize and encourage the distinctive differ- ences in persons, nations and cultures, and at the same time, affirm the unity of mankind’. This philosophy has shaped who we have become in the world stage and we owe it all to the leaders who have steered the course of this great Institution throughout its history. As we mark the 115th Anniversary, we wish to recognize and appreciate the fortitudes of these individuals, starting with the very first Committee which was commissioned to estab- lish the school, the very first Principal, Margaret Eddy, to the Council Members and Principals whose astute governorship of the school has brought us thus this far. I believe that KIS will continue to build on its remarkable legacy, endowing future generations with the best it can offer. We invite you to visit the campus with your families and also attend reunions both in Kodai and in any Chapter that's near you. Build on your legacy by enrolling your children for a se- mester or two (Legacy Children). Follow us on Facebook, Twit- ter and LinkedIn.

The archival materials document the history of a unique sub- culture of pre-industrial India - that of the American mission- ary in South India and the world of evangelism, education and medicine. This subculture lived in relative isolation, devel- oped its own norms and practices and became an integral, sometimes central, part of the life of the school and the town. The lives of these early missionaries were set against the backdrop of the growing town, the disappearing tiger and bi- son, the arduous climb up to Kodaikanal, the sinking of the Titanic, (one of the school’s students numbers among its sur- vivors), the internment of Germans during World War II, the visit of Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister in 1962, and in 2003, the death (in Kodaikanal) of Adam Osborne, the inventor of the world’s first portable computer.

  • Report on the Ichthyo Fauna of Anna and Madurai Districts" Tamil Nadu
    Bee. zool. $urv. India,. 89( 1-4) : 233-243, 1991. REPORT ON THE ICHTHYO FAUNA OF ANNA AND MADURAI DISTRICTS" TAMIL NADU T J.INDRA Zooloqrcal Survey of India, Madras INTRODUCTION During the years 1986-1987, Zoological Survey of India, Southern Regional Station, carried out two extensive surveys of Anna and Madurai Districts, in Tamil Nadu, under the Mopping Survey Scheme. Madurai District is traversed by the river Vaigai and its tributaries such as Theni, Surali and Moolar. These are seasonal rivers. Apart from these water ways there are few lakes i.e. Kodaikanal Lake and Berijam Lake in Anna District. Some water falls and hillstreams were also surveyed for their Ichthyo fauna. The Vaigai Dam across' Vaigai river near Madurai and Sathiar Dam also near Madurai were also surveyed. No comprehensive account on the fish fauna of Anna and Madurai Districts is available and therefore, a list of fishes from these districts is worth reporting. The data under each species includes its first reference, number of examples, their size range in mm. in standard length, area of collection, date of collection, geographical distribution and remarks (wherever variations are observed). In all there are 34 species in the present collection of 560 examples (503 adults and 57 juveniles) belonging to 9 families. Puntius arenatus (Day) is being reported for the first time from Vaigai Dam. Puntius filamentosus (Valenciennes) and Puntius mahecola (Val.) were treated as two distinct species in accordance with the findings of Selvaraj, Mathew and Abraham (1986-87). Jayaram (1981) was followed for the identification and distribution of fishes.

  • Film Tourism in India – a Beginning Towards Unlocking Its Potential
    Film tourism in India – a beginning towards unlocking its potential FICCI Shoot at Site 2019 13 March 2019 Film tourism is a growing phenomenon worldwide, fueled by both the growth of the entertainment industry and the increase in international travel. Film tourism sector has seen tremendous growth in the past few years. It represents a gateway to new and more intense ways of experiencing destinations. At the same time, it creates the potential for new communities by way of an exchange of insights, knowledge and experience among the tourists themselves. Films play a significant role in the promotion of tourism in various countries and different states of India. A film tourist is attracted by the first-hand experience of the location captured on the silver screen. Not only is film tourism an excellent vehicle for destination marketing, it also presents new product development opportunities, such as location tours, film museums, exhibitions and the theme of existing tourist attractions with a film connection. This report focusses on the concept of film tourism and the various initiatives taken by both the state and central government of India for boosting film induced tourism through their respective film production policies. Dilip Chenoy Secretary General - Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foreword The significance of cinema in today’s times has gone beyond its intended purpose of mass entertainment. Cinema is a portal for people to escape from reality and into their world of fantasy. Cinema is a source of inspiration for some, a source of entertainment for some and a source of education for some.

  • GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa Tend to Think That Food and Drink in Goa Means the Famous Fish, Curry, Rice and Feni Package
    GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa tend to think that food and drink in Goa means the famous fish, curry, rice and feni package. And for most Goans these are indeed the three basic necessities of life -- fish, curry and rice. They combine to make a heavenly daily meal for the average Goan. But Goan cuisine, like the land itself, has many flavours and tastes with its vast treasure trove of culinary delicacies. The long period of Portuguese rule, besides that of the Muslim and Hindu kingdoms, has left an indelible influence on the original style of Goan cooking and this has led to an exotic mix of truly tasty and spicy cuisine. Most people who sample Goan cuisine, enjoy this different and unique style of food which has a distinct and unique combination of spicy flavours. A Goan values his food as much as he does his daily siesta (break). And in his daily meal, seafood always has a pride of place is some form or the other. From fried fish to exotic concoctions like ambot-tik, sea food is usually a must on the menu, except for the occasional break for some religious observance. Goans take pleasure not only in what they eat, but also how they cook it. Although modern conveniences have almost completely taken over in urban areas, the traditional way of cooking in clay pots on firewood continues in most rural areas of Goa. This style of cooking adds an additional smoky flavour to the food, highly valued by Goans. Despite the two schools of cuisine traditions influenced by the respective religions of Hinduism and Christianity; there are some meeting points that present an interesting harmony.
