Kuttiyadi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kuttiyadi or Kuttiadi is a region in Kerala, India, near Calicut which is home to a hydroelectric power plant that supplies much of Kerala's needs in addition to irrigation under the scheme. It was originally a forest owned by the Vengalil family but was nationalized following the accession of a communist administration in Kerala. There is a small town of the same name in the area that was developed initially in 1900. In earlier Chola times, the region was an important military strategic pass. Passukkadavu is an immportant place nearby where land slide is common.
