Introduction

Thiruvananthapuram District is the southernmost district of the coastal state of , in south . It came into existence in the year 1957. The headquarters is the city of Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) which is also the capital city of Kerala.

Thiruvananthapuram city and several other places in the district loom large in ancient tradition, folklore and literature.

In 1684, during the regency of Umayamma Rani, the English East India Company obtained a sandy spit of land at near on the sea coast about 32 kilometres (20 mi) north of Thiruvananthapuram city, with a view to erecting a factory and fortifying it. The place had earlier been frequented by the Portuguese and later by the Dutch. It was from here that the English gradually extended their domain to other parts of .

Modern history begins with , 1729 CE – 1758 CE, who is generally regarded as the Father of modern Travancore. Thiruvananthapuram was known as a great centre of intellectual and artistic activities in those days.

"Thiruvananthapuram" literally means "City of Lord Anantha". The name derives from the of the at the center of the Thiruvananthapuram city. Anantha is the mythical thousand hooded serpent- Shesha on whom Padmanabhan or reclines. The temple of Vishnu reclining on Anantha, the Sri , which dates back to the 16th century, is the most-recognizable iconic landmark of the city as well as the district. Along with the presiding deity of SriPadmanabha, this temple also has temples inside it, dedicated to Lord and Lord Narasimha, Lord , and Lord Ayyappa. The temple was built by King Marthanda Varma of the Travancore Royal family when, in 1745, he shifted the Travancore capital from , which is now in . King Marthanda Varma startedreigning as 'Padmanabha Dasa', the servant and representative of Lord Padmanabha, as perhaps a nobler variant of the 'Divine Right Theory' with which the West is familiar. The vast temple complex, with its tall Gopuram decorated with detailed carvings reflected in the huge temple tank, is today a center of attraction for the pious, the tourist, and the merely curious.

The city was the capital of the Travancore state before India's independence. Consequent to the recommendations of the state Reorganization Commission, the Vilavancode taluk from Thiruvananthapuram was merged with Tamil Nadu, along with three other southern taluks of Thovala, Agastheewaram and from Travancore which eventually formed the district of Tamil Nadu. The state of Kerala came into being on 1 November 1956.

The district can be divided in to three geographical regions, Highlands, Midlands, and Lowlands. , and Thiruvananthapuram Taluks lies on the midland and lowland regions, while the Taluk lies in the midland and highland regions, and the Taluk stretches over all the three regions.For administrative convenience the four taluks are again divided into different blocks. Salient features of the blocks are reproduced below

Thiruvananthapuram Taluk: - This taluk is divided into two blocks and one corporation. They are block, Nemam block and Thiruvananthapuram corporation.

Pothencode block:- This block lies on the central part of Thiruvananthapuram and consists of , Attipra, , Mangalapuram, Pothecode and panchayats. This block has witnessed significant growth in the sphere of industrial development during the past 3-4 years. The electronic Technology park, The International Apparel park, Bio- Technology park are all located here. About 60% of population depend on agricultural activities for their livelihood. It has a long coastal line of 15 km and about 10% of people depend on fishing activities. Other activities like Coir production, Rural Artisan activities, Handicrafts etc are also well developed. There is substantial Non Resident population in this block. Nemam block:- This block is situated quite adjacent to Thiruvananthapuram corporation and forms part of Neyyatinkara taluk. It includes the following eight panchayats; , Kalliyur, Maranallur, Marukil, , , Villappil, and vilavoorkal. Because of the proximity of Thiruvananthapuram city, this block is blessed with sound infrastructural facilities. Regianal research laboratory of CSIR at Pappanamcode, Agricultural college and Research Institute at , Industrial Estate at Pappanamcode Etc are part of this block. About 1500 ha of is also situated in this block. Agriculture forms the livelihood for about 55% of population. Weaving activity is well developed in this block and forms the livelihood for about 15% of population. The Balaramapuram Kaithary is famous throughout the State. The block is also characterized by a large number of cooperative handloom weaving societies. Bamboo making, Metal making, Blacksmithy, Pottery, Handicrafts are some of the secondary activities prevalent. There is a good scope of Dairying and Sericulture in this Block.

Thiruvananthapuram corporation Earlier in 1920’s the Trivandrum corporation was municipality and converted into Corporation on30th October 1940. During that time its headquarters was situated in the MG road, against the SMV High School. With the formation of the Corporation several multipurpose developmental projects were launched under the leadership of Sir C P Ramaswami Aiyar, who was the contemporary Dewan and these projects helped a lot in executing several planned developmental models in Thiruvananthapuram. The first Mayor was C O Madhavan who was the Chief Secretary during that time. The Second Mayor was an elected representative, Shri Karimpuvilakam M. Govindapillai. The contemporary Chief Minister, Sri Thanu laid the foundation stone of the new Corporation building on 19th March 1962. The constructional activities were completed in 1966. The Ex-Prime minister late Smt. Indira Gandhi inaugurated the building on 3rd June 1966. Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation is the largest city corporation in the state of Kerala in India by area and population. It is the Municipal Corporation that administrates the city of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala. The city corporation is spread over 214.86 square kilometers with 100 wards and a population of 9,57,730 inhabitants. :- Chirayinkeezhu Taluk is situated in the North Western part ofThiruvananthapuram district. It comprises of 29 villages and 2 municipalities. This taluk isblessed with a network of black water and canals. Mainly river, its tributaries and part of Ithikara river are flowing through this taluk. The bustling tourist place Varkalabelongs to this taluk. Traditional industries like coir and cashew have significant importance here. Agriculture sector has equal importance as well. Non-resident Indians play a vital role inthe economy of this taluk and thus the living standards of the people are above average exceptthe coastal areas.

Nedumangad Taluk: Nedumangad is one of the four taluks of ThiruvananthapuramDistrict. The taluk is bounded in the east by the State of Tamil Nadu, on the south by theNeyyattinkara taluk, on the west by the and on the north by the district. Nedumangad municipal town, the taluk headquarters, is located around 20 kmto the north-east of Thiruvananthapuram city on the Thiruvananthapuram--Thenmala StateHighway. The hilly terrain is rich with a variety of flora and fauna. Nedumangad is an importantcentre for trade in hill and forest resources like pepper and rubber. Just half a kilometer fromthe bus station is the , an excellent specimen of traditional Kerala architecture,which today houses the numismatic museum. Agasthyarkoodam, the tallest peak in the southat 1868 metres, is famous for its abundant ayurvedic herbs and medicinal plants. It is about 50km south-east from Nedumangad.

4). Fisheries Thiruvananthapuram district stretches along the shores of the Arabian Sea for adistance of 78 km (48 mi), offering immense scope for the development of fisheries as animportant source ofearning foreign exchange. Varkala, Anchuthengu,, Poonthura, and are some of the major fishing centres. Thefishermen population is about 200,000, and the catch is around 32,000tonnes.Anchovies, sardine, catfish, perches, mackerel, tuna and carangidae are the importantspecies caught in this area. Introduction of mechanised fishing crafts and modern fishing gearhas augmented the fish catch. There are 42 fishermen villages and the total number ofhouseholds engaged in fishing is about 40,000.Development activities and welfare programmes are implemented by the Department ofFisheries, Matsyafed, Fish Farmers Development Agency (FFDA), and Brackish Water FishFarmers Development Agency (BWFFDA). The inland catch is significant in the district. Thenewly launched people oriented fish farming scheme aims at fish cultivation in2.05 km2 (0.8 sq mi) of public ponds. All the 78panchayats in the district are readied to adoptthe scheme under the guidance of local bodies. The coastal fisheries belt is divided into 42fisheries villages, and most of such villages have fishermen welfare societies formed under theKerala Fisheries Welfare Society Act of 1980.

(d) Major mineral resources In the District

Graphite: The graphite occurrences in the district are well known. They are at Changa,Vellanad, ,Karuppur, Puliyarakonam, Chengallur, Karanamkod, Vengannur,, Veli andKilattingal. Graphite mining byM/s. Morgan Crucibles Co. during 1898 to1912 is a well known fact. The magnitude of old workings and quantity of pit dumps indicatethe scale of mining. The Geological Survey of India carried out mapping followed bygeophysical survey in most of the above locations and at Changa a reserve of 3,000 tonnes offlaky graphite of 75 % fixed carbonhas been estimated.

Bauxite: The laterite capped areas of lowland and western margin of midland containbauxitic patches. The important deposits located by the Geological Survey of India and thereserves estimated are :-

1 Mangalapuram-Chilampil area : 0.490 million tonnes 2 Sasthavattam 0.364 million tonnes 3 Ambalam : 0.014 million tonnes 4 Attipara 0.062 million tonnes Total 0.930 million tonnes.

The bauxite in general are high in silica (8-12%), and moderate in Fe (11-15 %); Al2O3 isaround 50%. The ores are at or near ground surface within maximum depth of 4 to 8 metresfrom surface.

Clay: Both china clay as well as sedimentary clay are known to occur in the district. Thechina clay is associated with crystallines. The main deposit known is at Akulam which is beingmined by English Indian Clays Ltd. The china clay is 4 white, soft and free from iron andtitanium. The sedimentary clays viz. ball clay and fire clay are associated with Warkalli beds.The ecological Survey of India conducted preliminary investigation by auger drilling and 4.9milliontones of clay has been estimated in Paljipuram with a possible additional 4 milliontonnes in the area. In Chilampil0.16 million tonnes have been estimated. The river plains andmouths have silt or black clay in large quantity whichare being worked in different parts of thedistrict for brick making.

Chrysoberyl: The occurrence of chrysoberyl, a semi precious gemstone in the districtand its mining is known since long time. Studies by the Geological Survey of India indicate thatthere is a zone of gem bearing pegmatites between and Parassala in a NW-SEdirection. The main centres are around Neyyattinkara, Vellanad, NedumangadandVenjaramud. Gems are also won from pebble bed as in Pothencode and from present dayriver gravels as in , the Vamanapuram and KiIli River Courses.

Mica: The swarms of minor pegmatite veins traversing the crystallines in most casesare mica bearing. But no occurrence of economic significance has been met with so far.

Lignite: The carbonaceous clay in the Warkali beds carries lenticular patches of lignite.Investigation by the Geological Survey of India for lignite at Varkala has not indicated anyregular seam or bed of lignite in the area. These carbonaceous clays also carry nodules ofmarcasite and resin.

Ilmenite and monazite: Concentration of ilmenite, sillimanite, garnet, quartz, rutile andmonazite in beach sands are found at Vizhinjam, and Veli,

Considering the above, the following industries are found to be potential in theDistrict. M-Sand Clay Products Granite cutting & Polishing
