ராஜராஜ சோழனின் சாவா மூவா பேராடுகள் திட்டம் | Rajaraja Cholan and the Sava Moova Beratu Scheme

👋 In today's video, we delve into the rich history and remarkable contributions of the Chola dynasty, with a special focus on the pioneering efforts of Rajaraja Cholan in local administration and rural economic development. Join us as we explore the fascinating "Sava Moova Beratu or Sava Moova Thittam" scheme, an innovative project designed to uplift landless farmers and improve their livelihoods.
Rajaraja Cholan's Administrative Innovations
🏛️ The Cholas were trailblazers in establishing efficient local governance and judicial systems. Rajaraja Cholan, in particular, introduced the "Sava Moova Thittam" scheme, a visionary initiative aimed at empowering landless farmers. This project not only provided them with a sustainable source of income but also played a significant role in rural economic development.
The Book "Pon Maan Payanda Puli"
📚 Dr. Both Thaiyarasan and historian Thanjai Ko.Kannan have co-authored a compelling book titled "Pon Maan Payanda Puli," which sheds light on the dramatic historical facts of Emperor Rajaraja. The book, enriched by contributions from Dr. Polko and Dr. M. Rajendran, was officially released on January 16. Despite the curfew, Tamil scholars and historians participated in the online book release ceremony, offering their heartfelt congratulations.
Congratulatory Address by M. Rasendran IAS
🎤 M. Rasendran IAS, Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Election Commissioner and historian, delivered a poignant congratulatory address during the event. He emphasized the challenges of writing a comprehensive four-page account, highlighting the extensive reading and research required. He praised Dr. Thaiyarasan and Ko.Kannan for their exceptional work in capturing the glory of Emperor Rajaraja in their book, aptly named "Ponman Payanda Tiger."
The Evolution of Language
📝 The book delves into the etymology and evolution of words, illustrating how meanings have transformed over time. For instance, the word "sari" referred to a dress 200 years ago, while the word "odor," now associated with an unpleasant smell, originally meant "smell of mind." The authors also explore the virtues inherited by Emperor Rajaraja from his parents, emphasizing his exemplary qualities.
Rajaraja Cholan's Naval Prowess and Administrative Acumen
🌊 Rajaraja Cholan's naval forces were the first in India to venture across the ocean and conquer foreign lands. He is also credited with being the first to conduct efficient land surveys and implement effective administrative measures for temples. His initiatives to stabilize prices and promote economic growth among villagers are highly commendable.
The "Sava Moova Beratu or Sava Moova Thittam" Scheme
🐐 To improve the economic conditions of landless farmers, Rajaraja Cholan implemented the "Sava Moova Thittam" scheme. This innovative project involved providing farmers with young and strong goats, which they were required to maintain and grow. The goats' milk was used to produce ghee, which was then supplied to temples for lighting the Nanda lamps, ensuring they burned continuously day and night. This scheme not only provided a steady income for farmers but also supported temple activities.
Encouraging Literary and Historical Research
📖 The event also underscored the importance of encouraging literary and historical research in Tamil Nadu. Unlike the neighboring state of Kerala, where book publishers receive substantial support, Tamil Nadu faces challenges in publishing and distributing books. M. Rasendran IAS called for greater support for writers and researchers to ensure their valuable contributions reach a wider audience.
Contributions from Scholars and Historians
🌍 Dr. Thayerarasan, one of the book's authors, shared his experiences of visiting historical sites and conducting extensive research on the Chola dynasty. He highlighted the grandeur of temples in Cambodia and other regions, illustrating the far-reaching influence of the Chola empire. The event saw participation from various scholars, poets, and historians who offered their felicitations and support for the book.
