Megala2 1(Environmental Engineering, Anna University Chennai, India, [email protected]) 2(Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, The Kavery Engineering College, Salem) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract— The project is aimed to design a water supply scheme to Kunhimangalam Grama Panchayat in Kannur District. Water for this scheme is to be collected from Vannathipuzha, which is a perennial one. The scheme is based on 2013 census population. The supply level proposed is 70lpcd. The scheme is designed for a period of 30 years. Geometrical increase method is adopted for the calculation of future population in this Panchayat by adopting growth rate method. On implementing this water supply scheme, there will be drastic change in the socio-economic status of the area by the conversion of vacant plains into residential, commercial and industrial area as other services are available. There will be improvement in the health and economic status of the people in this area. In addition to it, this scheme also controls the water scarcity of the area and thereby improves the health and sanitation of people. The project thus provides safe drinking water supply coverage to Kunhimangalam Grama Panchayat.

  • CONCLUSION As the Study Is an Attempt to Understand the Changes That Occurred in the Malabar During the Period of the Eighteenth
    CONCLUSION As the study is an attempt to understand the changes that occurred in the Malabar during the period of the eighteenth century, it is essential to sum up the conclusions pertaining to it are relevant in this context. The mainstream historical writings looked at the historical incidents in the eighteenth century as ‘authentic evidences of pre-modern feudal anarchism’ that had emerged in the Malabar society during aforementioned century. Another group of scholars viewed it as, ‘necessary changes that had aroused out of the frequent interactions between the Malabar society and the mercantile companies of the Europe’ with an objective shift of the static society of Malabar to a developed one. Dilip M. Menon, in his study, has tried to explain the influence of the open political conflicts in the formation of political institutions in Malabar in the eighteenth century. He has made reference that; a new social condition has emerged, and that has opened up a suitable venue for anyone to put in experiments in the application of power in Malabar during the eighteenth century.918 Without making any explanation to the nature and the functioning of the experiments, he has made a general classification to it namely, the ‘households’, which are the byproducts of political rivalry during the period of the chaotic eighteenth century. In contrary to the above, Abhilash Malayil has made an endeavour to make a different approach to this matter and has made an attempt to study has to how the ‘political fovours were problematized in the political chaos of Malabar’ in the eighteenth century.

  • A Pastoral Caste of Kerala
    © Kamla-Raj 2006 Anthropologist, 8(2): 83-87 (2006) Yadava - A Pastoral Caste of Kerala M.S. Mahendrakumar Department of Anthropology, Kannur University, Thalassery Campus, P.O. Palayad, Kannur Dt., Kerala, India E-mail: [email protected] KEYWORDS Pastoralism. Acculturation. Environmentalism. Possibilism. Occupational Mobility. Clan ABSTRACT The Yadava of Kannur district in Kerala is a caste group engaged in cattle-rearing traditionally. They are believed to have migrated from Andhra Pradesh before Independence. The Yadavas came and settled in certain towns, suburbs and townships in the erstwhile Malabar, i.e., in the Northern Kerala. Yadavas are concentrated in Kannur town, Koothuparamba, Thazhe Chovva, and in Calicut town. Most of the families are rearing buffaloes and selling milk. Continuous cultural contacts and various other factors like education, industries, and employment opportunities within the towns and outside paved the way for socio-cultural change. The traditional subsistence activities of the Yadavas are declining today. An attempt is made in this article to trace the major reasons for social and cultural change. The use of three important concepts, namely, acculturation, environmental determinism, and environmental possibilism are examined in the light of the present material. INTRODUCTION it is clear that they were a traditional cattle rearing community and followed a nomadic mode of life Pastoralism is an economic activity, and it before a centaury or more. In Kerala, the Yadavas reveals the nature of subsistence of a population are distributed in Kasargode, Kannur, Kozhikode, with respect to particular environment.

The strong- holds of this ancient art are the Northern parts of Kerala especially Kannur District. The evolution of Hindu religion from its primitive form can be traced to this dance form. It is a living cult with a tradition, rituals and customs going back to several centuries and embraces almost all castes and classes of Hindu Religion of this region. The word ‘Theyyam’ is a corrupt form of the Malayalam word “Deivam”which means God. It is a rare combination of dance and music and reflects important features of a tribal culture. According to the legend- ary “Keralolpathy” Parasurama sanctioned the festivals like ‘Kaliyattam’, ‘Deviyattam’ or ‘Theyyatam’ to the people of Kerala. The dances are traditionally performed by indegenious communities like Panan, Velan, Vannan, Malayan, Mavilan, Pulayan and Koppalan which are considered as depressed castes. The dance or ‘Invocation’ is usually performed in front of village shrines or houses as ancestor workship with elaborate rites and rituals, for propitiating Gods and Goddesses to bless the family or community. There are ‘Theyyams’of different manifestations of a deity, a historical, or a legendary figure. There is a close resem- blance between the Theyyam Art and ‘Kathakali’ in make up, costumes, and dance and musical instru- ments.
