Tuticorin, besides being a main Port City of India, is well known for pearl diving, fishing centre and shipbuilding. It is also hailed as " Pearl City ” "Muthu Nagar”. An estimated 70% of India's salt is sourced from this area. The AOL Tuticorin hosted the first ever AMC Part II Course by the beach and the experience was beyond words.The participants met on the beach at dawn and dusk and savoured the rare moments everyday. Birds including Garudas, which are becoming rare sights elsewhere, added to the pristine environment. The video above captures the final moments of Sunrise on the last day.
Sri Krishna Jayanti was celebrated by the group alongside the public on 12th Sept 2009 at the exquisite Balaji Mandir of the Port with prayers for rains and peace and they were not in vain. As we are filing the report, the City, which has been under a very long dry spell, is now receiving showers.
AOL is slowly transforming the Muthu Nagar into a Muktinagar.
