From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monippally is a small village in Kottayam district of Kerala state, south India.
The village's economy depends mainly on foreign income from workers abroad, and crop plantations of rubber, cocoa, vanilla, black pepper and ginger. Due to a large amount of emigration, and thus a large amount of foreign cash flowing into the village, the village has a very high social life index - very high literacy rates and high occurrence of 'creature comforts'.
There's a strong emphasis on education and healthcare - there are seven schools and three hospitals within a 4 km² area.
