karanavakkoottams and helping us with information and contacts on their
respective wards. We do not wish to name each one of them for their

be mentioned ,and they are Sri.U.Kalanathan and Radhakrishnan of Vallikkunnu
Panchayat, Ashraf of Peruvallur Panchayat, Shamsuddin of Munniyur

Munniyur Panchayat, and Sr.Abdurahiman kutty of Parappanangadi Panchayat,
who had become activists of the project. We thank each one of them.
We wish to thank the Principal, PSMO College Tirurangadi for helping us to
organize the initial discussions on the project and rendering assistance in so
many ways. We also wish to thank the teaching staff of the History Department,
PSMO College for taking a live interest in the project, especially Dr.
K.K.Mohammed Abdul Sattar and P.P.Abdurazak.
We wish to thank our friends in the respective Panchayats who acted as co-
coordinators although some of them could not stay throughout, due to their other
commitments. The project conveners were Sr. Mohammed kavarodi(
Tirurangadi),Shamsuddin( Munniyur) Sri.C.K.Madhavan( Thenhippalam), Sri
abdulhameed (Peruvallur), A.Subrahmanyan (Parappanangadi),
M.P.Mohammed Hasan (Nannambra) and P.Devadasan(Vallikkunnu). We thank
each one of them.
It is very difficult to thank all the volunteers and those who participated in the
Karanavakkoottams individually. Our records show that those who participated
in the walking came to about hundred, about 362 volunteers were involved in
the survey and more than 600 participated in the Karanavakkoottams. Without
their contributions this project would have been impossible to be completed. We
are mentioning our main activists separately, but even the people who answered
our questions on the road were contributing to this effort. We wish to record our
indebtedness to all of them.
