  • Nice Place .
  • To everyone native place is nice and beautiful. This Kannankulam is southern part of Tirunelveli District in Tamil Nadu and border place to Kanyakumari District. This Kannankulam has good history and presently alive grandfathers/grandmothers are well aware of it.People hailing Hindus, Christians ( CSI,KANAN, Catholic ), Muslims, Harijans, SC/ST are living as neighbours for centuries in harmony. The Temples, Churches, Salvation Army Church, Mosque are built inside the residential houses. People felt that these are not sufficient, and lot of small koils are built around this village from each families and celebrate the festival for 3days in accordance with the family status. Extremism/Terrorism persist in international level and how come we expect that will spare this village. In the past rarely certain unwanted incidents occured but the then district collector/MP/MLA/all religious heads timely action brought the situation to under control and paved the way for common people to have a peaceful life in this village. As borders to east is Kootapuli, south is Indian Ocean, west is Kanakappapuram and north is Nagercoil-Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project Road which is just 25 km away from this place.This village has got very old high/higher secondary schools which produce very good students every year. A lot of people serve in public/private sectors not only in Tamil Nadu but also all over India and abroad.During Tsunami period Kootapuli was affected much narrowly Kannankulam escaped but the seawater entered into south side ( Ethankadu ) where 100 families are living now. The sitting MLA was keen interest to safeguard these families. Shall we expect the Tamil Nadu Government will take appropriate measures to build a strong permanent long concrete stone wall on the sea shore to protect Kannankulam and Kootapuli from Tsunami threats. May God Bless All.A
