Coimbatore government arts and science college list 2025 

Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu's third-largest and a highly industrialized city, is known as the "Textile Capital of South India" or the "Manchester of South India." Situated on the banks of the Noyyal River, Coimbatore boasts a long history, predating the 2nd or 3rd century AD and having been ruled by notable dynasties like the early Cholas under Karikalan, the Rashtrakutas, Chalukyas, Pandyas, Hoysalas, and the Vijayanagara kings. When the British acquired Kongunadu, the city's name was anglicized to Coimbatore, its current designation, though it is also locally known as Kovai in Tamil.

Sheltered in the rain shadow of the Western Ghats, Coimbatore benefits from a consistently pleasant climate year-round, enhanced by the refreshing breeze channeled through the 25 km long Palakkad Gap. The region's fertile black soil has fostered a thriving agricultural sector, with the successful cultivation of cotton notably laying the groundwork for Coimbatore's renowned textile industry. The establishment of the first textile mill in 1888 marked the beginning of significant industrial growth, creating numerous employment opportunities both within Coimbatore and its neighboring districts. This development has resulted in a robust economy and solidified its reputation as a leading industrial city in South India.

Coimbatore is home to over 25,000 industries, spanning small, medium, and large scales, including numerous textile mills. The city is also a significant hub for foundry and automobile industries, as well as the manufacturing of textile equipment, spares, motor pump sets, wet grinders, and a diverse range of engineering goods and services. The development of hydroelectricity from the Pykara Falls in the 1930s spurred a significant cotton boom in Coimbatore.

Coimbatore acts as a key gateway to neighboring Kerala and is conveniently located 70 km from the popular hill station of Udhagamandalam (Ooty). It's also the starting point for those wishing to take the Mountain Railway from Mettupalayam, just 35 km away. Regular daily bus services connect Coimbatore to Ooty and various other districts, towns, and major cities.
