Ariyalur district has a very rich and glorious past. Its antiquity dates back to the period of Prehistoric Civilization which flourished about 2 lakh years ago.
Vision
Before the advent of the human activities in the area covered by the district, it was submerged under the Sea. Later, due to the changes in climatic conditions, the sea water receded towards the east and thus emerged the present land made metamorphic rocks belonging to the gneiss family. This rocky soil is made up of sedimentary and gypsum rocks that belong to different geological periods
