Kalpeni

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kalpeni is an island in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, India. It forms a single atoll along with the uninhabited island of Cheriyam, the Tilakkam and Pitti Inlet.

Littered along the eastern and southern shorelines of the island is coral debris which was the result of a violent storm that hit the area in 1847.

It was the first island in the Union Territory where women were allowed to go to school and get an education.
