Dr.Sundaradevan, the First Badaga IAS officer writes….


Dr. Sundaradevan Nanjiah  IAS

I am a regular visitor to your website for more than a year now.  Please accept my congratulations for a splendid job.  I can appreciate the enormous efforts put in by you single-handedly in gathering so much information and in creating such an interesting website.

I have quite a few materials myself, mostly written during the British era, on the Nilgiris and its inhabitants,  from google books and openlibrary.org….. (…keep in mind that Nilgiris was variously spelt as Neilgherries, Neelagiri and Neilgherry Hills during those times).

Regarding Civil Services Coaching, I have made an offer to the Badaga Associations at Chennai, Coimbatore, Ooty and Bangalore and it is the Coimbatore Association which has taken the lead.  I hope others will follow suit.
I will only be too willing to visit all these places and guide our youngsters to the best of my ability, if only a few of them come forward to take the Civil Services Exams seriously, which I am sure is well within the reach of many of them.Yours sincerely,
Sundaradevan Nanjiah+++++++++++++++

    Respected Sir and dear friends,
    As a BADAGA I am proud to see what’s happening around our community and really proud to see Sundaradevan Sir’s initiative. I love to be connected to our network and associations.

    Way back in 1999 I got a reference letter for an interview from Sundaradevan Sir when I knew nobody in metro city Chennai and still he’s helping so many youngsters. Sir I salute you.
    I am now the Director of Adventure sports and educational institution based in Bangalore, would like to be a part of you all, pl guide me.
