FIRST LIGHT IN SILENT VALLEY

Can you see the white stream within the gorge (left hand corner down). Thats river Kunthi which runs down 20 Kms untouched by mankind. That Gorge was where the dam was proposed in late seventies by KSEB (kerala state electricity board). Many years ago the people of this country fought for a campaign to save silent valley from being submerged under the waters of proposed hydel project. 

Silent Valley is no longer silent. It is the speaking symbol of a people's campaign for conservation. A paradigm for development without destruction. Thanks to all those unsung heroes who fought this movement and saved it for the future generations.
