Palayathuvayal Government Upper Primary School, Kolayad is an educational institution situated within the deep tropical forests of Kolayad Panchayat, Kannur district of North Kerala, India. Of the 172 students enrolled there, most belong to the families of an ancient local tribe Kurichya. The school is situated in a region with no effective communication or transport facilities. Despite this, it has a post office, a TV news studio, a mathematics lab and a museum all formed and operated by the students.〔('thatsamayam Palayathu vayal' (Palayathu Vayal Live): Feature Article written by TV Vinod in Mathrubhumi News Online (Language: Malayalam)(2012 September 7) )〕 ==Location== The school is located in the Kannavam-Peruva strip of reserved forests in Kolayad Panchayat, Kannur district. Accessibility to the site is very primitive. The only public transport available, a bus by state road transport corporation that runs once in a day, is from the nearest village of Kolayad. There are no mobile or land telephone networks. Electricity is available. Kolayad can be accessed from the nearby towns Peravoor, Kuthuparamba & Iritty. From the main highway, the school is connected by road through protected forest. The forest entry point is known as Changala Gate (Chain Gate).. To ensure conservation of natural resources, access is often controlled by the department of forests, Kerala Government. Palayathu Vayal is a name derived from the days of Pazhassi Kerala Varma, a king who raised a revolt against the English rulers for the first time in the history of Indian freedom struggle. It is believed that Thalakkal Chanthu, the Commander of Kurichya army, the principal force of the King used to train his men at this place. The name Palayam (meaning military camp in Malayalm) was later transformed to Palayathu Vayal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palayathu Vayal Govt. UP School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
