The Salvation Army operation commenced on 27 May 1892 as a result of the vision received by Major Deva Sundaram at “Medicine Hill” near Nagercoil in Kanyakumari District, while praying and fasting with three officers, when the persecution in Southern Tamil Nadu was at its height. In October 1970, the Tamil-speaking part of the Southern India Territory became a separate entity as the Army experienced rapid growth.
