Oduvankuppam village is located in Tirukkoyilur taluka of Viluppuram district in Tamil Nadu, India. It is situated 18km away from sub-district headquarter Tirukkoyilur (tehsildar office) and 20km away from district headquarter Viluppuram.

The total geographical area of village is 334.6 hectares. According to Census 2011 information the location, Oduvankuppam has a total population of 2,401 peoples, out of which male population is 1,218 while female population is 1,183. Literacy rate of oduvankuppam village is 64.18% out of which 72.41% males and 55.71% females are literate. There are about 542 houses in oduvankuppam village..

This is a poor village having less income for the people. There is a school in which 167 children are studying.  For a long time, it did not have a proper drinking water facility. Consequently, the children are affected by waterborne diseases due to contaminated water supplied by Panchayat in the street line twice in a week. As these children are afflicted by water borne diseases they have to spend more money for their medical bills. The poor parents and the villagers are unable to bear the medical expenses.

Imagine compassion International (ICI) decided to make a difference to the people of the village and constructed a drinking water facility for them.

Community Details

  • Oduvankuppam is a small village. This is a poor village having less income for the people. There is a school in which 167 children are studying. For a long time, it did not have a proper drinking water facility. Consequently, the children are affected by waterborne diseases due to contaminated water supplied by Panchayat in the street line twice in a week. As these children are afflicted by water borne diseases they have to spend more money for their medical bills. The poor parents and the villagers are unable to bear the medical expenses. To reduce such an expensive rate, we want to provide pure drinking water and to keep them in good health. Moreover, they are wandering for the drinking water on the streets of the village and the agricultural wells. Thus they avoid sickness and danger in search of drinking water.
  • If they are provided with these facilities, they are secured from wandering for drinking water and they are safe from contagious diseases. They can concentrate on their studies well and have happy lives without diseases.
  • There are at least 300 known languages in India, 24 of which have one million or more speakers. Besides Hindi and English, there are 14 other official languages, including Bengali, Urdu, Punjabi, and Sanskrit. At least 30 percent of the population speaks Hindi. English is important for business and government and is the language of national communication. Hindustani, a blend of Hindu and Urdu, is spoken widely in northern India.
