Kavunji

Kavunji (Mannavanur Panchayat) (Tamil: கவுஞ்சி) is a Panchayat village of terrace farmers at the far western end of the Western Ghats in Kodaikanal block of Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu state, South India, Pincode 624103. It is 35 kilometres (22 mi) from Kodaikanal at: 10°12′26″N 77°20′25″E / 10.20722°N 77.34028°E / 10.20722; 77.34028. Elevation is 1,920 metres (6,300 ft). Kavunji is notable as a vegetable farming area.

There is an Tamil language inscription on a stone in the street believed to be dated in S.S. 1013 (CE 1091). The people of Kavunji believe that the inscription relates details and results of a controversy. The inscription measures 4 by 3 feet (1.22 by 0.91 m).

Kavunji will soon become a corporate village, due to introduction of a mega cluster project bringing 1,197 acres (4.84 km²) of irrigated, rain fed and wasteland under cultivation at an estimated cost of Rs.77.7 million. 1,497 farmers will benefit.

This cluster will produce potato, carrot, peas and beans in large scale adopting the latest techniques such as special precision farming, uniform cropping pattern and drip fertigation system.
