Very PROUD Information
24th April is "National Panchayat Raj Day". We are to be proud of that
once TPRs in most of our villages served as Presidents/VMs and well recognised
by Govt. Officials for our Hospitality.
A Century Ago when Britishers' constituted the 'Grama Muncheif Court' headed by
3-5 member Judges (most of them were TPRs in our villages) handling petty cases
to big land disputes. When the Verdicts were delivered by TPRs the Vathi/Prethivathi
has to accept it. NO APPEAL |
|

TPR Association is entering 100th year.
Yes in 1910 a small group of forefathers purchased and established the
TPR Madam (Choultry) - the present Chinna madam - kalyana madam |

The first TPR moved to Madras from our villages:
Late Shri.Mapillai Reddiar of Anwarbath in late 1940's. Started his carrier with provision store, then a small restaurant opp. to Meenambakkam Airport. A few Bachelors (TPR) joined him. Stayed in a house @ Nanganallur surrounded by paddy fields. TPRS Gateway to Madras those days - Mr.Mappillai Reddiar's house. In 50's, during the visit of Queen Elizbeth, dozen+ people stayed a couple of days. He often invited TPRS and took them to Zoo, Museum, Beach...
Our AFA President Mr.N.C.Vivekanandan too was with Mr.Mapillai Reddiar's family for more than 1 year during
his pre-degree. Unfortunately Mapillai Reddiar didnn't had issues. After 70's no whereabouts...
