The Rajapalayam LPA has immense potential to become a ‘Model and Showcase’ town and a trendsetter for other towns in India to emulate in being both ‘Climate Smart’ as well as ‘Carbon Neutral’ and with some extra efforts possibly even ‘carbon negative’. Surrounded by the Srivilliputhur tiger sanctuary and having its own iconic Sanjeevi Malai, a hillock that has both historical and religious significance attached to it, Rajapalayam is blessed with lush vegetation that can be further enhanced and strengthened with a fairly high carbon sequestration potential. Furthermore, the area being endowed with close to 42 water bodies covering an area of 19.95 sq. km is also an added advantage to the region.
