πŸ“œ Historical Context

Veedur Dam was constructed in 1959 (some sources mention 1965) during the tenure of K. Kamaraj, the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, with the initiative of Kakkan, the Minister of Public Works Department. Its primary purpose was to provide water for cultivation (irrigation) and generate hydroelectric power.

It serves as a vital source of drinking water and irrigation for over 100 villages, including Vikravandi, Mailam, Vanur, and Pondicherry. The dam is built across the Thenpennai River. The surrounding Veedur village is known for its secular character, with ancient religious sites like the 1200-year-old Shivan Kovil and Adhinath Bhagavan Jain Temple, alongside a church and facilities for local deities. Agriculture is the backbone of the local economy.
