An amazing Experience

1.Gravity dam
2. Arch dam
Idukki Arch dam and the Cheruthoni gravity dam opened to the general public for 10 days.The dates may be extended ,if it catches more attention among the people.Due to security reasons the visitors have to surrender their bagagges especially their Mobiles,to the volunteers at the entrance of Cheruthoni gravity dam.The Idukki dam is the highest arch dam in India,second in Asia;ranks among the ten top dams in the World.
After a day long Onam celebrations at my college ,for the first time in the new academic year,We played some cricket which makes a self realisation of our body fitness.Any way it was enjoyable especially because the Campus was lonely with out any spectators.
Started an hour late,We had our breakfast at Puttady.From Kattappana we catch a Thodupuzha bus.We were not sure about the place,our vibrant KSRTC conductor drops us at Dam top.We managed to catch another bus to cheruthoni after a half an hour uncomplaining hang around.
Idukki arch dam which is situated in Idukki District and its underground Power House is located at Moolamattom which is about 19 km from Thodupuzha. Idukki Dam is 43 km away from Moolamattom. The Idukki Dam is built on the Periyar River, in the ravine between the Kuravan and Kurathi Hills in Kerala, India. At 167.68 meters, it is one of the highest arch dams in Asia. It started generating power on 4 October 1975.Technically, the dam type is a concrete double, curvature parabolic, thin arc dam.

Memories at its Best

Many years have passed by !!! All have turned busy in shaping their life !!! when I went, the campus remained same, maintaining the same energy bestowed with the presence of new generation!!! The department hardly changes maintaining the integrity of the " Karapuram". I felt like the corridors, classrooms, seminar hall, store, practical labs , canteen, Auditorium, College Bus-stops- telling many days which I have lived here !!! The  colours of such memories have never changed or fainted over the years !!

Memorable Journeys Series -1

-
Some days are etched deep into the memory.  As we all went to Cuttack , Odisha on 17.02.2017 for attending a marriage, the Journey was such a wonderful one to remember for long. The majority of the IITTM Bhubaneswar staff were there with us and we went in a tempo traveler from Bhubaneswar to cuttack.  Down in the memory lane, many changes have come to Bhubaneswar. Now travel is so easy to Cuttack side as the Fly overs which have been constructed recently will take you overhead the city from Baramunda, When I came here first in the month of May 2013, I was welcomed by the skeletons of these Flyovers. Now its a sky high journey crossing Vani Vihar (where Utkal University situates), CRPC Chowk, Jaydev Vihar, Rasul Gadh towards Cuttack will continue

(This article got Published in Nehru Trophy Boat Race Souvenir in 2012 Issue. The editorial board was headed by the then Alappuzha District Collector. P Venugopal IAS) Alappuzha, the trade centre in the erstwhile Travancore regime, has basked in the glory of its past leaving behind all its charisma and extravaganza. The present condition of this old port town is quite pathetic even though it is striving hard to reclaim its chances from Tourism. New windows, avenues and vistas now get opened up through Backwater Tourism with its iconic Nehru Trophy Boat Race (NTBR), Beach Tourism and Beach Festivals, also as a Conference destination, hospitality slices such as Beach & Lake Resorts, Home Stays, Food and Beverages apart from its retreat call to relax and rejuvenate. All these make Alappuzha to look through the windscreen and not through the rear view mirror as it cruises forward. It also paves the way for the traditional industries like coir, fishing, and agriculture to revive,
