  • Indstrial Potential Survey 2017 Kozhikode District
    Government of Kerala INDSTRIAL POTENTIAL SURVEY 2017 KOZHIKODE DISTRICT DEPARTMENT INDUSTRIES AND COMMERCE, KERALA Website: www.dic.kerala.gov.in, Email: [email protected] Industrial Potential Survey 2017 - Kozhikode Page 1 Industrial Potential Survey 2017 - Kozhikode Page 2 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT Kozhikode as a district came into existence on 1st January 1957. After the formation of Kerala state in 1956, when Malabar district was divided into three districts, the Central district with headquarters at Calicut (Kozhikode) was named as Kozhikode. The district, which initially had 5 taluks, had undergone several changes and the present district with 4 taluks was formed in 2013. The early history of the district is lost in obscurity. Neither inscription nor works of classical geographers and poets help us in reconstructing in full its early history. However, it is certain that during the Sangam Age the district formed part of the empire of the Cheras. During the Sangam age i.e. in the first two centuries of A.D the district was known as Poozhinad, which was later, annexed to Chera empire. The history of Kozhikode district for the next few centuries i.e. upto 8th century A.D is obscure. Kozhikode and its surroundings were part of Polanad ruled by Kolathiris. The ancestors of present Zamorin family defeated Kolathiri’s forces and established their headquarters at Kozhikode. Because of the persistent efforts and administrative abilities of the rulers who were later known as Zamorin, Kozhikode became an important commercial and trading centre during post Sangam age. During the pre Portuguese period the Zamorin achieved the suzerainty over a large track of land and many neighbouring Rajas accepted him as their protector.

  • Traditional Wisdom in Harvesting Water
    Traditional wisdom in harvesting water G. S. Unnikrishnan Nair Scientific Officer (Asst. Director of Agriculture) Kerala State Biodiversity Board, Jai Nagar L14, Medical College PO Thiruvananthapuram -695011 E-mail : vanchiyurunni@gmail. com, unni_krishnan1@hotmail. com Abstract Traditional Knowledge is being used in various parts of India for harvest of rain water as well as its conservation. This article examines two such traditional water harvest systems in Kerala state of South India. One is the ‘Panam Keni’ well used by Mullu Kuruma tribes of Wayanad, the hilly district of Kerala and the other one is the vertical ‘Suranga’ well dug in the laterite hills of Kasargod district. Unique knowledge and skill are involved in the development of these wells. This has been passed from generation to generation and perfected. But it is sad that the skill and knowledge associated with these wells are fast disappearing from these communities. Keywords: Traditional knowledge, Wells, Wayanad, Mullu Kuruma, Panam Keni, Kasargod, Laterite hills, Suranga. Introduction tribe is a very prominent tribal group of Kerala state Water has been harvested in India since antiquity, with unique culture and ethno botanical practices.
