My Chruch

Mundakayam is a land of spices and natural Rubber. With a great pride, we could say that the rubber plantations in India had originated from Mundakayam, which was introduced by a European from England named Mr. J.J.Murphy around 1930. He had imported the relevant machineries from Scotland pertained to the Rubber Industry and lit the fire of the “natural rubber boom” in India which had been producing the “rubber sole” for the Foot Wears Industries and exported all over the world since 1930. Many Tea Estates had already opened at the out skirts of Mundakayam by the Europeans Companies during these decades.
