REVIVING AN AGRARIAN POND IN KALLIDAIKURICHI: Part 2

Located in Kallidaikurichi, the Pannaiyar Kulam is an agrarian pond that serves as a water source for farmlands in the region. The pond is part of a larger water system that is interconnected by channels, making the area a water-rich zone.

Over the years, owing to no proper maintenance, the pond soon fell prey to excess silt deposits and rampant growth of invasive weeds that choked the water body’s ecosystem.

E.F.I in collaboration with the Tirunelveli District Administration and CreditAccess India Foundation took on the task of reviving the Pannaiyar Kulam back to its former glory. Take a look at all that happened during this restoration!
