Message from the President
Message from the President of the MTTF, Thiru Coomarah Chengan (Ganessen) on the occasion of the launching of the revamp Website of the MTTF on Sunday 14 October 2023 at Riambel Drawpadee Ammen Kovil

It is indeed an immense honour for me to be called upon to convey my message for the launching of our revamp Website.

Today with the advent of the Internet, the world has become a smaller place. Any kind of information is easily available and at our fingertips. It has transformed our lives, the way we communicate and the way we receive and share information. It is an undeniable fact that many people spent most of their time over the internet. Websites developers have realized the importance of being online and started to maximize its use.

The Mauritius Tamil Temples Federation (MTTF) Website exists since 2009. We wish to pay tribute to Mr Soondrassen Murday, OSK for his vision and initiative to create our organization website. We are also very grateful to Mr Azagen Pillay, the then Web Developer who designed and maintained the Website. We also thank Mr Madeven Sooben who in 2015 upgraded the website through another service provider, the DoraCrea Training and continued the maintenance of the Website.

Our website plays an important role in disseminating useful information to our audience. It helps to establish our image by letting the audience know who we are and what we represent. Our Website forms part of our Identity on the Internet and in the Digital world. We try to share maximum of information with people and make them know us in order to build interest and trust. 

This year with the expert advice and reasonable proposal from Mr Ramalingum, the Managing Director of VGR Solutions Ltd we have come with the development of an event page with a panoply of new services. We have done a complete revamp of our current website.

We have designed a new layout with a new home page and menu template. We have added the gallery features with the possibility of uploading videos and photos. We also offer the possibility for online application in a new feature. We have another feature where we have all Kovils with their photos, locations and a history of their existence. We appeal to all Kovils administrators to make an effort and provide us with the maximum of information of their kovils in order to update our website.

I wish to thank our Administrative Clerk Mr Vishagum and all staffs for their unflinching support and collaboration to make it happen. I also wish to thank the team from VGR Solutions Ltd in particular Mr Ramalingum and Mr Egaraj Tungapen for their patience and professional input.

Last but not least, our thanks to all our Board members for their belief and output in the realization of the project.
I reiterate my sincere appreciation and gratitude to all those who have made this project possible through their generous donation and sponsorship. I appeal to all devotees and well wishes to continue serving the kovil with pride and dedication with a real sense of belonging.

Let us concentrate on what unites us instead of what divides us.
