Description of Santhanagopalapuram

Agriculture is main economic activity in this village. 70% of the people own and cultivate small jasmine farms. Other important crops are peanuts (groundnut), paddy rice, vegetables, sunflowers, and sugarcane. It has a smal
elementary school
with less than 20 children, and 3 teachers (2015). Children who work on family jasmine farms do not fully benefit from the education offered at this school, because they are generally expected to be awake by 5 a.m. to go to the fields to pluck the jasmine flowers. By 9 a.m. the children should be ready for school, but they haven't reviewed their lessons, and are exhausted from their early morning work. The fatigue tends to remain for the rest of the school day, and they are unable concentrate in their class at the school. The village has 3 temples (the Krishna Temple is the largest) and one water tank. Next to jasmine cultivation, paddy and sugarcane are vital crops. There is one high school at Poonimangadu, 2 miles away. It is somewhat bigger than this village. Those who wish to pursue higher studies tend to migrate to other towns and cities.
