R. N. Arogyasamy Mudaliar
Diwan Bahadur R. N. Arogyaswamy Mudaliar (18 April 1870 – 30 January 1933) was an Indian politician and civil engineer who served as the Minister of Excise, Medical Administration and six other Departments in the Madras Presidency from 1926 to 1928.
==Early life and Education==
Arogyasamy Mudaliar was born on 18 April 1870 to Sir R. N. Prakasam Mudaliar, who was an official of the provincial civil service after whom Prakasam Road in T. Nagar is named.
As a student of Madras Christian College, Arogyasamy Mudaliar performed brilliantly standing topmost in his class and securing kudos from the then Principal of the college - Rev.Dr.W. Miller. He went on to complete his Civil Engineering Degree in 1896 from Madras Engineering College (now named Guindy College of Engineering) which was earlier located in the palace of the Nawab of Carnatic. Incidentally the British Government established three engineering colleges in India - in Madras, Roorkee and Calcutta, and all three of them were meant exclusively for the study of Civil Engineering as irrigation and communication were of primary importance.After passing the exam at the top of his class, the Government of India offered Arogyaswamy Mudaliar the position of Executive Engineer overseeing nearly all districts in the present state of Tamil Nadu, Ganjam District in Orissa and entire Andhra Pradesh (excluding territories of the Nizam of Hyderabad, who was then the richest man in the world). He was hand picked to represent the country at the inauguration of the Panama Canal and at the opening on the Philadelphia Industrial Exhibition in the US.The study tour apart from visits to the United States and Panama included England, Spain, Portugal and Japan as mentioned in Passport no. 2 dated 25 September 1915 issued to him in South Arcot, Madras Province according to the National Archives in the UK. It was on his return he miraculously escaped certain death as the ship he was originally slated to return was sunk by Germany during the hostilities in World War I
In the post war years Arogyaswamy Mudaliar carried out improvements in the irrigation system of the River Krishna, was actively involved in the Mettur Dam, which became the largest dam in the world at the time of completion in 1934,〔S>Muthiah "Engineers who made history" The Hindu, 9 June 2008〕 Tungabhadra project, Pykara Project and the Lower Bhavani (river) Project. He did very useful work on the Cauvery Committee. The government recognised his work by promoting him to the position of Superintending Engineer in 1918 and conferring on him the title of Rao Bahadur and later in 1925 with the additional honour of Dewan Bahadur at the time of his retirement.
