Naluvedapathy
Naluvedapathy is a coastal village in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is located in the Vedaranyam taluk of the Nagapattinam district. It sits on the mouth of the Addapar River. Based on the 2001 census in India and numerous village and tsunami censuses after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, it has a population of approximately 4500 people, most of whom are poor and are "low caste."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Livelihood Reconstruction )〕 The village's primary businesses, like other villages on the coast of Tamil Nadu, are farming and fishing. The entire Nagapattinam district was severely affected by the Indian ocean tsunamis, however, Naluvedapathy emerged virtually unscathed. This was due to the presence of a very large windbreak planted by inhabitants of the region in 2002.
==History==
On December 4, 2002, 300 farmers planted 80,244 Casuarina saplings in 24 hours, achieving a new Guinness World Record in the process forming what has been called "The Guinness Garden". This Guinness Record plantation was organised by Nagapattinam District Administration led by District Collector Sudeep Jain and Sub Collector S J Chiru.〔(The world Record in a tsunami village ) Dilip D'Souza, October 10, 2005〕 According to Sudeep Jain, "We planted trees for invoking rain gods as this area had faced drought for several years". The saplings were spread over 20 hectacres next to the coast.〔(Bitsunami ) ''Village beats tsunami with tree power'' Financial Express, January 30th 2005〕 On the 26th of December, 2004, tsunamis batterred the coast of Tamil Nadu after an earthquake in Sumatra. However, out of 8,000 fatalities in the state, only one was from Naluvedapathy and most of the village remained unscathed. The trees, which were known to be strong wind barriers, served as barriers against the tsunamis and stopped a large amount of water from reaching the village.〔 It was also noted that there was no loss of life within the fishing community and no psychological trauma amongst the people of the village following the tsunami.〔 Sudeep Jain later mobilised his school alumni and founded a Tsunami Rehabilation Trust named BITSunami to rehabilitate and develop this village along with neighbouring Pushpavanam village. BITSunami and District Administration led by then District Collector J Radhakrishnan once again went on a massive tree plantation spree planting 254,464 saplings on 2 Oct 2005 creating a new Guinness World Record.
