An Outlook on Sathyamangalam

Being ingress to Mysore, Sathyamangalam is about sixty kilometres from Coimbatore. People pride their place as sandalwood city as it was renowned for late Veerapan and his sandalwood smuggling. To quote on the climate, it is unpleasant round the year. Located on the beds of Kodiveri and Bhavani River, it’s a hot place to live on. Agriculture is the main occupation here and Bannari Amman temple located about fifteen kilometres from Sathy is the main deity preached here. Bhavaneswarar temple is situated near the bridge. Since Sathy is not densely populated, you need not hang around for the vehicles to pass by to go across the roads. Few weeks ago, when I was travelling with my friend on the streets, I found some zebra crossings on the roads and grinned myself imagining the purpose of it. People freak out to the four cinema halls for entertainment. Bannari Amman Institute of technology is a boon to this place and its existence in a rural area crafts awareness of education in this surroundings. Long ago, when I was travelling in a town bus, an uneducated poor man enquired me about various courses available in my college. This gave me confidence that awareness in education has flourished. When you travel in the Athani road you could see two roads diverging. If you pick either of the roads you will reach Bannari Amman Institute of Technology. If you pick the road on your right you will reach Bannari Amman sugar factory followed by Kodiveri dam. The infrastructure can upgrade if rail route is constructed between Coimbatore to Erode via Sathyamangalam. Moreover this rail route can be used as an alternate at times if some problem creeps into existing rail route between Coimbatore and Erode. I wish Sathy to progress as a full-fledged city satisfying the needs of the people as earth revolves round the sun.
