Next step

The article originally posted here was more about Kottayam District. (And it was copied word for word from some other website!) Drastic changes have been made and the current article focuses on Kottayam town.

The next step is to improve the article. Those who attempt to do it, please refrain from going into excessive details. Please understand that although you may want to list and describe every stone or tree or curve on the street as they may be important in your mind, they won't mean anything to anyone else from outside. Add just what is relevant and please be succinct. 192.30.202.18 22:06, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. Please comment. Shekure (talk) 12:40, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"the city became India's first municipality to achieve over 100% literacy in 1989" quite a feat, but how does a region achieve over 100% literacy? Do dogs know how to read in Kottayam? Babrahamse (talk) 21:31, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Babrahamse,

Thanks for your comment. Please correct such minor mistakes when you find them. You have an eye for details. Shekure (talk) 06:17, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kottayam (KTYM) railway station

What does KTYM stand for? That should be expanded before being abbreviated if possible. Tripnoted (talk) 21:30, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

-== Proposed Kottayam Airport ==
-There's a strong demand for an airport in Kottayam district to serve the Cental Travancore region of which Kottayam is the most important city. The demand for an airport in Kottayam is a very old one, but did not have the kind of the media and political support as in the case of Kannur airport. The airport will give a fillip to the economic development of Central Travancore as well as the tourist hotspots of Kumarakom and Vagamon in Kottayam, Alappuzha, peerumedu, Thekkady, Munnar and Aranmula. It will benefit the large number of NRIs in the region, especially in the Kottayam-Pathanamthitta belt and NRKs in other parts of India who are presently commuting through Cochin International Airport.
-Lakhs of pilgrims thronging the pilgrim centres of Thirunakkara, Bharananganam, Vaikom, Kadappattur, Ettumanur,Aruvithara, Erumeli, Sabarimala and  every year will benefit if the airport becomes a reality.As Kottayam is the most important city in the region and the ideal gateway to all these places, as well as it is ideally located between the Coastal-Lake area and the Western Ghats, therefore Kottayam is the best place to set up the 5th airport in Kerala.
-The airport project is yet to get NOC from the Kerala Government which already received approval from the aviation minister during the term of previous central government.
-The Educational district should have a international airport as the part whole tourism are centralized in kottayam.
