Konaiyur is a tiny village in Tamil Nadu located at Tiruvannamalai District, Chetpet Taluck in India. Located at three kilometers from the state highway SH-4 from Vinnamangalam (via Nadupattu nad Kudisaikarai), in between Arni and Chetput. The neighboring villages are Periya Kozhappalur, Kudisaikarai, Vinayakapuram, Melanur, Thirumani, Katteri (Gengapuram), and Nariyambadi. Most of the villagers are rice farmers and fewer government employees. The village is located on the Cheyyar River bank, which originates from Jawadhu hills near Chengam and later joins in Palar River at Walajabath. Due to limited ground water availability, farmers are changing their cultivation method to "deep borewell" instead of traditional wells. Lake irrigation system is almost stopped these days. The existing two lakes' total area is shrinking day by day and government is yet to take any action even after giving many complaints. Recent monsoon rain made the farmers to cheer but again the ground water level has gone below the average level. Agricultural activities are going down again. There were many hand-loom silk weavers, weaving silk sarees for Arni, Kancheepuram Silk, but these days no one is weaving due to less remuneration and health issues. Village total population is around 1,800. The literacy level is not much satisfactory. But in recent days, all the young boys and girls are performing well in school education. The quality of teachers are much encouraging these days and the village students outperforming compared to the metro students. Konaiyur has only one school with 42 children, studying at Panchayat Union Elementary School, Konaiyur. Classes are conducted here from First to Fifth Standard. Most of the time the school will be operated with only one Head Master & one teacher for all the classes, he/she would be performing multiple task for the children. After completing the elementary school students has to commute to Periya Kolappalur (பெரிய கொழப்பலூர்) Government Higher Secondary School (now the school has been divided as Government Boys Higher Secondary School & Girls High school) to continue their studies up to higher secondary level. Nowadays many private schools operating the VAN facility for the school kids. Such facilities attracts the parents to send their kids to the private schools instead of Government schools. Which in turn make the education costlier but it should be a birth right and free for all the children. In 2002, the full-fledged telephone connection from the Tamil Nadu government had been installed. For some reason
