Tributes paid to British governors

British Madras Governor Sir Thomas Munro and Coimbatore Collector John Sullivan were commemorated on the bicentenary of Munro's historic visit to the Nilgiris, which led to the creation of modern Nilgiris. A meeting organized by the Nilgiri Documentation Centre (NDC) highlighted Munro's contributions to revenue, police administration, land tenure, and education, as well as his dedication to the welfare of Indian people.

The event also saw students participating from various schools in Kotagiri, and a souvenir titled 'Remembering the Governor of Madras Presidency on his bicentenary memorial' was released.
