The main centre in this village is Moothakunnam. Vadakkekara is one of the early formed Grama Panchayath in the State. The village has also the Cultural and Historical background connected with Paravoor Kingdom. The village Malyankara is famous for being the landing place of St. Thomas . The proposed project ‘Construction of Chettikkad - Kunjithai and Kottuvallikkad -Vavakkad Bridge and Approach Road’, aims to increase the developmental possibilities in the area. Both, Vadakkekara and Moothakunnam are two advancing areas with progressive changes in the field of transportation and other commercial activities. Chettikkad – Kunjithai Bridge and Approach Road The proposed bridge would reduce the transportation complexity of the people residing in Kunjithai, Machamthuruthu and Pattanam who have to travel through Moothakunnam to reach Chettikkad, Malyankara, Kottuvallikkad, and Munambam. The construction of Chettikkad- Kunjithai Bridge will minimize half the distance and will make the journey unstrained. The fishermen community in Munambam fishing harbor are also the beneficiaries of the project. This bridge could shorten the distance between Kunjithai Fish Landing Centre and the Munambam Harbor; as a result there will be a progressive increase in the fishing activities and the economic sustainability among the people. The proposed project will be advantageous for hundreds of people who commute to Chettikkad Church, Malyankara College and HMYSHSS (Hindu Matha Yoga Sabha School, Kottuvallikkad) Social Impact Assessment Final Report– Land Acquisition for Chettikkad-Kunjithai and Kottuvallikkad-Vavakkad Bridge and Approach Road’, 5 Kottuvallikkad- Vavakkad Bridge and Approach Road The Cherupuzha River passing amidst the Vavakkad and Kottuvallikkad has always been a barrier for the people of either side to interact. The construction of this bridge is a dream for the people from way back. The People need to take Moothakunnam route in order to travel to Kottuvallikkad, Chettikkad, Malyankara, and Munambam from Vavakkad. The proposed bridge could shorten the distance by 1/4th from earlier. Along with that it will also help number of people heading to Munambam fish harbor, SNM ( Sree Narayana Mangalam College of Management and Technology and SNM college for arts and science) Malyankara, Chettikkad church, Chettikkad service society, 1.2 Location District : Ernakulam Taluk : Paravoor Villages : Vadakekkara , Moothakunnam 1.3 Size and Attributes of Land Acquisition For the construction of the Kottuvallikkad- Vavakkad Bridge and approach road, it requires the land acquisition to an extent of 00.05.19 Ares with survey numbers as 95/14, 96/1pt, 110/12, and 110/13 in Moothakunnam Village.
