CHAPTER – IV
INDUSTRIAL PROFILE OF THE SMALL SCALE INDUSTRIES
IN TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT
4.1. Introduction
Tirunelveli is situated in southern most District of Tamil Nadu. It is
described as a microcosm of the state, due to its physical feature like greenish
mountains and low plains. It has rich soil, adequate water for irrigation as well
as for industrial development. It has a conducive climate to live comfortably.
4.2. Historical background of Tirunelveli
The history of this District is bound up with that of the Pandya just like
Madurai and Ramanathapuram areas. Even earlier, a pre-historic race is said to
have occupied this land. During the latter half of the 18th
century, the East
India Company was frequently at war with the Poligars on behalf of the
Carnatic Nawab in Tirunelveli and Madurai. With the fall of Tippu in 1799,
British concentrated their force in the south and suppressed the Poligars. At
about this time, the Nawab of Carnatic became powerless and left the
management of the territory to the British.
The Nawab was pensioned off and the management of the revenues of
Tirunelveli was made over to the British in 1801 under a treaty. Thus the
British rule started which lasted till 1947. Before the establishment of British
rule, the Portuguese and Dutch occupied Thoothukudi and other port areas.
After the British rule, Swaraj movement was started and a number of
prominent persons of this District fought against the British and clamoured for
independence of the country. In the year 1986 the District was divided into two
parts namely Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi vide State Government Notification
G.O. Ms.No.1314 dated 27-9-86. Main languages spoken in the District are
Tamil and Telugu.
4.3. Geographical position
The prominent hills are part of the Western Ghats and form the
boundary between Kerala State and this District on the western side. The
Western Ghats run to a length of about 160 km. in the District starting from the
north-western part in Sankarankoil Taluk and ending at about 15 km. from
Kanyakumari. Valuable trees are found in the Western Ghats. The Western
Ghats lie on the western part of Sankarankoil, Tenkasi and Ambasamudram
taluks. Near the border of Tenkasi and Ambasamudram taluks, the ghats widen
forming undulating hills, broad valleys and extensive plateau.
The height of the hills diminishes considerably near Shencottai and
permits communication by road and rail to places in Kerala through the
Shencottai pass. Besides this, a portion of the range lies on the southern part of
Ambasamudram taluk and in the western and southern portions of Nanguneri
taluk, it diminishes in height at Aramboly permitting road communication with
Kanyakumari. The hills of the Western Ghats have valuable trees, which are
being exploited for commercial purposes. The conspicuous among the hills are
Kallakadai Mottai (5721feet) above Sivagiri, Kottaimalai (6335 feet) over
Puliyangudi and Kuliratti (5876 feet) near Kadayanallur Krishnapuram.
Thamiraparani river rises in the Agasthiyamalai (Pothigai hills) of the Western
105
Ghats and descends to the plains at Papanasam in Ambasamudram taluk. The
height of the Agasthiamalai is 6132 feet and is considered as the seat of the
Saint Agasthiyar who was said to be conducting research in Tamil language.
Tirunelveli District is bounded by Virudhunagar District in the North,
Kerala State and Kanyakumari District in the West, Gulf of Mannar in the
South and Tuticorin District in the East. The District lies between 80 10’ and

deeply entrenched in Hindu mythology, Tirunelveli is populated by people of
all religions, with Hindus, Christians, Muslims and Jains forming a major
109
proportion of the local people. However, the cultural heritage of Tirunelveli is

In Tirunelveli District as on 31st July 2008 more than 16,000 small scale
industries are functioning. All these industries come under 18 major types. In
which the industries which manufacture chemical products account for one
third of the total SSIs. Among the registered SSI Units one third of the

4.9.1 Tiny Industries
Agricultural products, Pottery, Smithy, Carpentry, construction activity,
and Wood carving were the everyday occupations for the Artisans who where
by birth, more or less bound to pursue the vocations. Weaving, especially of
cotton cloth, was another old time industry. Other industries in the District are
safety matches industry, Bell metal, Brass vessels, Lacquerware industries,
Bullock cart manufacturing, Basket making Korai mat weaving and the like are
the noteworthy feature of the District.
The concentration of certain types of industries in a particular area like the
Bell Metal Industry in Vagaikulam, Korai Mat Weaving Units Pathamadai and
Veeravanallur, Lacquerware manufacture in Ambassamudram, Safety Matches
Radhapuram taluks, Bricks Units in Ambasamudram and Tenkasi Taluks, and cane
furniture making and saw mills in Shencottai and Tenkasi taluks. Some of the old
time industries vanished due to severe competition from the mechanized industries
and change of techniques in manufacturing and the development of research in
industrial designs and technologies. Poor patronage also led to the fall in demand
which finally led to the decline of these industries. The ordinary artisans,
Carpenters, Goldsmiths, Blacksmiths and Potters lived in most villages and their
work was much the same as in other Districts.
112
Production in Sankarankoil, Palmyra Products Manufacture in Nanguneri and
Scientific development and technological advancement brought
innovation, invention and improvement in the consumer durables. This trend
has brought a change in the attitude of consumers who played a vital role
causing the decay of certain industries like those producing bell metals, brass
articles, bullock carts etc. Another reason for the decay of certain industries
was the low percentage of profit margin. This resulted in the decline of certain
industries like basket making, manufacturing of agricultural implements with
primitive technology and so on.
a) Brass Works
Brass vessels are made out of plates of metal, which are heated and
beaten out on the anvil; sections are welded together and reduced to their final
shape by a process of gentle hammering. Hindu idols are produced at
Vagaikulam; elsewhere the productions are chiefly domestic vessels.
b) Bell Metal Industry
Bell metal vessels are made in various parts of the District. The industry
is mainly found in places like Vagaikulum and Mannarkoil in Ambasamudram
Taluk, Tirunelveli and Narasinganallur in Tirunelveli taluk and Sankarankoil.
The products of Vagaikulum, which include lamps, temple bells and domestic
vessels, are the best known and the demand for them is brisk.
c) Lacquerware
This craft is practiced mainly at Ambasamudram. The craft came into
being about a century back. The craft is being practiced by a separate set of
113
people locally called Marakadasalkarar. Mainly toys for children, flower vases,
kumkum boxes, bowls, pintrays are being produced.
d) Wood Carving
The style of wood carving in this part of the state is entirely different
from that of other carvings. The history of the craft dates back to the era in
which bullock carts were first introduced. The panel type of carving is done
with ordinary carpentry tools and they have their own traditional beauty
depicting inherited designs mostly floral or animated.
e) Basket Making
The palmyra grows in abundance in Nanguneri and Radhapuram Taluks.
Its tender leaves are used for making baskets. It is pursued by women in the
villages in the south of Nanguneri taluk. The tender leaves are cut into strips
and dried in the sun and are often dried to a variety of colours. Fancy articles,
such as models of processional cars and animals are also made. In many
villages in south Nanguneri, the Nadar and Muslim women makes nice fancy
basket suitable for betel and tobacco boxes which is made using Tender
Palmyra leaves.
f) Cotton Weaving
The weaving of cotton cloths was the hereditary employment of
kaikkilaiyars, pattasalaiyars and pattunulkarars and formed the chief
occupation of a large number of muslims and of some other communities.
Wide streets lined with double rows of trees to give shade to the workers at the
long line of outstretched warp were the familiar signs of a settlement of
114
weavers. The main centres were Ambasamudram, Kallidaikurichi,
Viravanallur, Pattamadai, Pottalpudur and many neighbouring villages in
Ambasamudram taluk. The other chief centres were Tenkasi, Kadaiyanallur,
Tirunelveli, Palayamkottai, Melapalayam and Eruvadi (Nanguneri Taluk).
g) Silk Weaving and Looms
Cloths of pure silk were not woven in the District. The Pattasalaiyars
and Pattunulkarars made clothes for women out of a mixture of silk and cotton.
The looms used for weaving of all kinds were mostly of the old indigenous
pattern. Flying shuttles were rarely used in the looms in the important centers
of Ambasamudram taluk since they damage the warp. One or two machine
looms, in which the whole business was done by treadles were found in
Ambasamudram taluk.
h) Mat Making

Pattamadai, Alwarkurichi, Veeravanallur, Harikesavanallur and Kalakadu. For
ordinary mats, Korai is obtained from the beds of tanks and channels in the District,
after getting the permission from the government. It is dyed to a variety of colours
and woven by hand on to a warp, which is usually made of aloe fibre. The finished
articles are sent in large quantities to Pettai, where they are distributed within the
115
District and other parts of the State and Country. A mat of very superior
composition and considerable reputation is produced at Pattamadai. Its
manufacture is the monopoly of some Muslim families even to-day.
