    • Awarded to Alwin Paulraj
      Best Paper Presentation Award SERB & BRNS Govt. of India with V.O.Chidambaram College Nov 2024 Received at the SERB & BRNS Govt. of India, International Seminar on Air, Water, Sediments Regime and Its Impacts on Climate Change for my paper, “Integrating Hydrological Modelling with ArcGIS Pro for Flood Simulation and Assessing Urban Flood Risks in Tamirabarani Basin.” This award recognized my ability to combine advanced hydrological modelling with GIS analysis to develop innovative solutions for flood risk management.
    • Awarded to Alwin Paulraj
      Best Photography Award V.O.Chidambaram College Apr 2024 Awarded for capturing a high-detail geological image that showcases pegmatite veins within the rock formations of Sathyamangalam, Erode District. The photograph clearly illustrates the impact of tectonic activity, revealing ellipsoid shapes and folds in the host rock that result from compressive and tensional stresses.
    • Awarded to Alwin Paulraj
      Certificate of Excellence Caldwell Higher Secondary School Apr 2017 Awarded Second Place at the school level for outstanding academic performance in the SSLC examinations.
