The Pride - Coimbatore

My views on the Developing Smart City which was affected in the 1998 Bomb blast. 11 different places of my Industrial City was affected but we did not stop our progress. We are growing bigger and smarter.

Coimbatore - It's the birth place of Oscar Hero Padmashri Arunachalam Muruganadham (Padman), Dr.Mayilswamy Annadurai (Project Director for Chandrayaan), Tree Man - Mr.Yoganathan (Coimbatore government bus conductor who planted 38000 trees. Indian government honored him by adding his name in CBSE syllabus) and lot more great people have born in my Coimbatore.

The first textile factory was established during 1888 in my Cotton City. Even today there are plenty of industries and weavings are happening in the city.

The bigger corporation of Cheran Dynasty has successfully organized World Tamil Conference in 2010.

The Educational Hub of Tamil Nadu has

This Kongu region has the world's second sweetest water Siruvani, Adiyogi statue (Guinness book of world record has recognized this statue as world's largest) and Puliyakulam Vinayagar (Asia's largest single stone statue).

From 1914 to 1950, Kovai was the capital of South Indian movies. Even after 1950 many epic films have been shot in and around Kovai. Thevar Magan, Poojai, Sillunu Oru Kadhal are some recent examples.

Many of us were attracted towards the Pakshiraja character in the movie 2.0. Kovai has a bird research institute in the memory of the real "Bird man of India" Mr.Salim Ali.
