The New airport in Madurai is going to be a 17,536-square metre building, to be constructed at a cost of Rs. 88 crore. It will have advanced features. The new facility has been designed to cater to 500 passengers. It has been proposed to have four aero-bridges, though initially only two will come up.

CII Madurai Zone

CII Madurai Zone was started in the year 1993, covering all the 8 districts of South Tamil Nadu namely, Madurai, Dindigul, Theni, Sivagangai, Ramanathapuram, Virudhunagar, Thoothukudi, Thoothukudi & Kanyakumari. Madurai is very popular for its rubber & its allied industries.

Madurai has long been a laggard in industrial development as compared to other parts of Tamil Nadu and India. Other industries which are more familiar in this region are Agriculture, auto component manufacturing, logistics & shipping, chemicals, textiles etc.,

In addition to the above mentioned industries, Tourism industry is an important sector which attracts large number of both foreign & domestic tourists to this region. Starting from Meenakshi Amman Koil in Madurai to the Kanyakumari at the tip of the country there are a large number of tourist attractions in this region.

Madurai is also home to a large number of health care industries, specially Aravind Eye Care System, which is an international eye-care hospital, research and training institute that provides quality and affordable eye health care to all, and an organisation which develops high-volume, low-cost service models for deployment in India and developing nations.

South Tamil Nadu is specially called as the Oxford of South Tamil Nadu as there are a lot of education institutions in this region. With 3 universities of world class education and around 120 engineering colleges & 235 arts & science colleges, South Tamil Nadu generates a major chunk of the professionals for the nation.

Madurai's Potential Lost in past

What do you know about Madurai-TamilNadu?

You may know - Madurai is known as :
ATHENS OF THE EAST
TEMPLE CITY OF INDIA
LAND OF NECTARS etc...

You may Know - Madurai is famous for its :

Meenakshi Temple
Tradition and Culture
Fragrant-smell JASMINE Flowers
Granite Marble stones
Tasty Food etc.,

While asking experienced people - they'll reply :

Madurai lacks Industrialization so lost millions of its native people to other cities.

That is real truth ! Did you know one thing ?

Our Temple city Madurai is losing nearly 40,000 Graduates every year to other cities like Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai and losing 50% of its Man-power to the industrialised cities like Coimbatore, Tirupur and Erode due to Unemployment.

Just Imagine the status of our city if those people remained here for work! None of the previous Governments took efforts to develop the Historic temple city. We had lost a Second MetroPolitan city of TamilNadu - YES !!! - Our Madurai might have become a Metropolitan city some decades ago next to those 4 Cities like what PUNE,BANGALORE,HYDERABAD is now emerging!! If there was a proper Governance and Good Local Administration.

But Taking its Potential into account - Our Present State and Central Governments had come forward atlast to develop our City Madurai right now.

Do anyone of you know its results ?

MADURAI is the only Tier-II City which attracted the Investments for More than Rs.50,000 Crores in the last two years which is now equal to the same power of Metros and Mini Metro cities of India.

Since this article is about improvement of Madurai, sourcing it from another madurai well wisher - madurai gilli - all for wellness of Madurai!

Madurai division of Southern Railways recorded 19 percent growth than last year

I am very happy to hear the news that Madurai division of Southern Railways recorderd 19 percent growth, compared to last year!

Despite closure of many sections due to gauge conversion, operation of special trains, enhanced passenger amenities and new trains have contributed to the increase in passenger traffic.

Information Technology-enabled services such as online train tracking system, national train enquiry system, among others, were introduced. The division bagged four efficiency shields for outstanding performance in finance, medical and mechanical departments.

The current fiscal would see a good growth in earnings as many sections would be opened, restoring commuter traffic as well as providing connectivity to long distance destinations.

This definitely shows the potential of Madurai. Even for a small piece of Southern Railways, profits are shown in an upward manner. This is just a sample guys!! We have lot to achieve!!!

Kudos to all the employees of Railways at Madurai and outskirts, connecting all the places inside India.

There will be no need for people staying in the township to go anywhere. It is estimated that 75000 people will work in the IT parks and a total of 90,000 people will work in the township so supporting 25000 families will be no problem.

Poor Infrastructure and Customer Service in Madurai

Infrastructure and Customer Service in Madurai!!

Couple of months back, I started to look and shop for an internet connection for my home computer. I heard from many who are already internet subscribers in Madurai that Airtel is good. I enquired about the Airtel connection. I was told that Airtel does not come to the area where my home is! Fine!! Moved on to VSNL linked with Tata Indicom - the most crazy company!!

This company acts based on what it thinks. "VSNL linked with Tata Indicom" does not serve based on what the
customer asks for. This is a perfect example of a government company. Looks like VSNL has tie up with Tata Indicom for the internet services. I ordered for 64 Kbps and I have been subscribed for 64 Kbps through VSNL, after quite sometime. It took like 1 month to get a new connection! What a customer service?!:( The most poor customer service have seen. That's why I said they just do what they think and do not care about customer service.

On top of that, I didn't feel I have enough connection speed. So, I ordered for an
upgrade! here is the real fun!! They said, you will be upgraded to 128 Kbps, from the next business cycle. What a crazy business model!? Will there not be people to take care of these kind of issues. We have called the customer service left and right!

The customer service is centralized in India and I am reaching a customer service with hindi speaking people. There is no customer service in TamilNadu or in Madurai. That apart, I don't have problem with that. There is no seemless support here. The technicians who come to work on the issues are not really VSNL people, they are contract folks. The local cable operators are the technicians. On top of that they are not real professionals. VSNL sucks!!! No matter, what people think about me! It is the truth and I have every right to express my opinion, while no customer service of VSNL listens to my concerns!!

There is no real feel for the company from a customer service perspective. Here, I am a consumer and a small customer who is not being served properly.

I am not sure how the businesses are handling this. I am sure the businesses are having hard time about this. This clearly shows to the businesses and investors - that don't come to Madurai and invest!! Don't you see a real red flag here for the businesses and investors.

This is a very small example about our situation in Infrastructure and Customer Service we provide to the customers!!
