Idukki Village Experience

Idukki Village Experience

Idukki village is unique in the sense that it has two of the three dams that
form the water reservoir of Idukki Hydro-electrical project. One of them, the
Idukki Arch Dam, is the biggest Arch Dam on the Asian Continent. Another
is Cheruthoni dam. This agricultural village is famous for its landscapes and
a paradise for photography lovers. The history of this place starts with the
tribal people residing here. Mannan tribe is the first settlers in this land and
believed that they moved here from Madurai. Migration of people to the
present area started around 1946-47, as a result of the great famines after
World War II, the government allowed willing farmers to clear forest lands
for agriculture. Since the Idukki dam project start, the development in this
area was fast. Roads and cities developed. The idea of constructing a dam
for power generation was first conceived in 1919. As per history, Shri
Kolumban, the head of race during 1922, showed the way to the
Malankara Estate Superintendent and his friend Thomas, who were on a
hunting spree in the forest, the spot of present Arch Dam. He told them of
the legend of Kuravan and Kurathi Hills. Mr. Thomas was impressed by the
sight of water flow between the mountains and it had been his concept has
materialized with in the form of Idukki Arch Dam.
