Coimbatore is a city that has grown from a less heard spread of land to an emerging
metropolis; a confluence of a myriad cultures and people. It is the headquarters
of Coimbatore district, with an area of 7,469 square miles and lies between
100 15' and 110 18' N and 780 14' E. Part of the South Indian State of Tamilnadu, the
region is bordered by the famed Blue Mountains (Nilgiris), the Anamalais and the
Eastern Ghats. The city's industrial community has contributed immensely to the
fields of education and health care. It is perhaps this harmony of industrial, economic
and social growth that has helped carve a unique identity for Coimbatore and which
1.6 million people refer to it as their home.

WHY INDIA
INDIA has, today, caught the world's attention Ifor its new-found economic success.
Sixty years of uninterrupted democracy has found expression in the well-being and
economic progress of her citizens. At the dawn of India's
Independence, Mahatma Gandhi spoke of Poorna Swaraj…the eternal call to realize
the fullness of life. The divides we speak about in modern India today st are many…
yet in the first decade of the 21 century, there is striking optimism. Modern India
is a continuing participant in a societal experiment of different cultures, religions,
socio-economic experiences co-existing together tempered by scientific development
& participatory democracy.
Welcome to the land of a billion people where 2000 years of Ancient culture finds
interface with knowledge centered industries, where 27 states form a federal union
and celebrates 60 years of democracy, where Mahatma Gandhi
reminded t h e wor ld'Each of us must be the change we want to see in the world!’
India of fer s to you the mes sage of the possibility of living together globally...
a living testimony of ’Unity in Diversity’ !
