Civil Engineering Department, Viswajyothi college of Engineering and Technology, Vazhakulam 2, 3, 4, 5Final year student, Viswajyothi college of Engineering and Technology, Vazhakulam Abstract: Periyar is the longest river in the state. It begins from the Sivagiri peaks of Sundaramala in Tamilnadu. The overall length of the river is about 300km. The catchment area of periyar is around 5396 sqkm and the total annual flow is founded to be 11607 cubic meters. The Land lying on the left bank of Periyar River through a network of canal systems and controlling devices is called Periyar valley irrigation project. The project was polish offed during the year 1992. It is spreaded over Kothamangalam, Muvattupuzha, Kunnathunadu, Aluva, Kanayannur and Paravur Taluk in Ernakulam district. It is delibrated for irrigating an area of 32800 Ha. Few problems were identified in the project during our case study. And we have to suggest some possible remedial measures to rectify the problems Keywords: Periyar river, periyar irrigation project, irrigation I. INTRODUCTION The Periyar valley Irrigation Project gives the canvas of utilization of the tail race discharging from the Muthirapuzha tributary of river Periyar together with the controlled release from Ennackal dam constructed by Kerala State Electricity Board across the Idamalayar tributary and the dependable run off from the uncontrolled catchment of Periyar River.

This land of rare natural beauty is steeped in history and culture, but it has still kept up with the times, Kerala has taken its tourism very seriously. It is not for nothing than that the Eden in these tropics; God’s own country was selected by National Geographic Traveler as one of its 50 “destination of life time”. When it comes to building a result oriented development programme, data collection is key in any sector. To capitalize the opportunity to effectively bench mark, it is essential to collect data’s concerned with the matter. In this context statistical analysis of tourist arrivals to a destination is gaining importance .We need to assess whether the development of destination is sufficient to meet the requirements of visiting tourists. Our plan of action should be executed in a meticulous manner on the basis of the statistical findings. Kerala Tourism Statistics 2019 is another effort in the continuing process of Kerala Tourism to keep a tab up-to-date data for timely action and effective planning, in the various fields concerned with tourism. I wish all success to this endeavor. Kadakampally Surendran MESSAGE Kerala Tourism has always attracted tourists, both domestic and foreign with its natural beauty and the warmth and hospitality of the people of Kerala.

  • Chapter Iv Traces of Historical Facts From
    CHAPTER IV TRACES OF HISTORICAL FACTS FROM SANDESAKAVYAS & SHORT POEMS Sandesakavyas occupy an eminent place among the lyrics in Sanskrit literature. Though Valmiki paved the way in the initial stage it was Kalidasa who developed it into a perfect form of poetic literature. Meghasandesa, the unique work of Kalidasa, was re- ceived with such enthusiasam that attempts were made to emulate it all over India. As result there arose a significant branch of lyric literature in Sanskrit. Kerala it perhaps the only region which produced numerous works of real merit in this field. The literature of Kerala is full of poems of the Sandesa type. Literature can be made use of to yield information about the social history of a land and is often one of the main sources for reconstructing the ancient social customs and manners of the respective periods. History as a separate study has not been seriously treated in Sanskrit literature. Apart form literary merits, the Sanskrit literature of Kerala contains several historical accounts of the country with the exception of a few historical Kavyas, it is the Sandesakavyas that give us some historical details. Among the Sanskrit works, the Sandesa Kavya branch stands in a better position in this field (matter)Since it contains a good deal of historical materials through the description of the routes to be followed by the messengers in the Sandesakavyas. The Sandesakavyas play an impor- tant role in depicting the social history of their ages. The keralate Sandesakavyas are noteworthy because of the geographical, historical, social and cultural information they supply about the land.
