Welcome to Palm 2 NGO
Palm2 has its main office in Gudalur, the Nilgiris District in Tamil Nadu, and a field office in Thalavadi in the Erode District in South India .
We work with approx. 12.000 families.
PALM 2 works in two main target areas:
The Nilgiris commonly termed as “Blue Mountains" of Eastern and Western Ghats are said to be the highest mountain ranges of South India. The whole of Nilgiris, eleven degrees north of the equator, forms an elevated steep upland from the low lands of Tamil Nadu in the east, Karnataka in the north and Kerala in the west.
Our target area Gudalur is located close to the borders of the three states. (See map) The main crops in this area are tea, coffee, spices grown on large plantations, belonging to multinational companies. The small and marginal farmer, who grows vegetables, bananas, spices, tapioca and other mixed crops, is living around in small villages around the plantations. The tribals live in small hamlets isolated from other communities.
