1. TAMILNADU END POINT OF “INDIA ”

3. The state lies at the southern tip of India, surrounded by Pondicherry, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. It is the second most industrialized state in the country after Gujarat.

4. The arrogance of the state is the language Tamil itself. Scholars recognize Tamil to be one of India's two languages of antiquity. The cultural ambiance of the state has given it a separate position on the cultural map of the country.

6. The British established their first trade centre in the Madras State at Peddapali (now Nizampatnam) in 1611 and then at Masulipatnam. In 1639, they were permitted to make more settlements in the region and as an outcome the Fort St. George was founded (present Chennai). By 1801, the whole of the territory from the northern Circars to Cape Comorin (with the exception of certain French and Danish settlements) were controlled by the British.

9. The state has been divided into 5 major physiographic divisions - the Kurinji or mountainous region, the Mullai or forest region, the Palai or arid region, the Marudham or the fertile plains and the Neidhal or coastal region. The Eastern and Western Ghats meet in this state and run along it’s eastern and western boarders

12. Tamil Nadu has a wealth of flora and fauna and some of its major wildlife sanctuaries like Mudumalai and Anaimalai (Indira Gandhi W.S) are situated in the hills of the Western Ghats which is the habitat of elephants, tigers, bisons and a variety of monkey and deer.

13. Of the 3000 and more plant species found in Tamil Nadu, a majority are found in the mixed deciduous forests of this region. One of the most noteworthy flowers is the Kurinji of Kodaikanal which blooms once in 12 years. Cinchona from which quinine - a drug for treating malaria - is extracted and eucalyptus grow abundantly in the Nilgiris.

14. Forests of medicinal herbs are found in Palani hills and Courtallam. Palmyrah trees grow by the thousands in Tirunelveli and its products are used as raw materials for several cottage industries. Rubber is the main plantation crop in Kanyakumari and the more exotic sandalwood grows, though not in very large numbers, in the Javadhu hills of Vellore district.

16. Tamil Nadu is blessed with a number of rivers of which Cauveri is the most important. This perennial river of the state originates in Coorg in the neighboring Karnataka state. The fertile Coromandel plains are irrigated by the Kaveri and its delta in Thanjavur - Nagapattinam region is known as the granary of Tamil Nadu. The other rivers in the state are the Palar, Pennar, Vaigai and Tamiraparani.
