LocationThe village is about {{convert|10|km}} from Gobichettipalayam (Gobi) and {{convert|20|km}} from Perundurai. The nearest village is Ayyam Pudhur. Kuravan Palayam can be reached by bus from Gobi town (bus number 10A) and from Perundurai (bus number P4). Kuravan Palayam has an average elevation of {{convert|330|m}}. DemographicsAs of the 2001 Indian census, Kuravan Palayam had a population of 125. Males constitute 51% of the population and females 49%. Ayyam Pudhur has an average literacy rate of 60%, higher than the national average of 59.5%; with male literacy at 83% and female literacy at 67%. 10% of the population is under 6 years of age. ClimateThe climate in general is dry and characterised by scant rainfall. The maximum rainfall is recorded in Gobichettipalayam and Gobi taluk. Unlike the nearby Coimbatore district which is blessed with a healthy climate, Ayyam Pudhur village has dry weather throughout the year except during the monsoons. The Palghat Gap in the Western Ghats, which has a moderating effect on the climate of Coimbatore district, does not render much help in bringing down the dry climate in this area. The cool moist wind that gushes out of the west coast through Palghat Gap loses its coolness and becomes dry by the time it crosses Coimbatore district and reaches Ayyam Pudhur. Generally the first two months of the year are pleasant, but in March the temperature begins to rise, which persists till the end of May. The highest temperatures are normally recorded during May. The showers during this period do not provide much relief from the oppressive heat; however there is a slight improvement in the climate during the June–August period. During the pre-monsoon period, the temperature reverses its trend. By September the sky gets heavily overcast, although the rains are meagre. The northeast monsoon sets in vigorously only during October–November, and by December the rains disappear, rendering the climate clear but pleasant. EconomyAgriculture is the primary occupation, with coconuts, rice, turmeric, bananas and sugarcane being the main crops grown. Kuravan Palayam is well known for handloom and powerloom textile products and readymade garments. These products are exported to other states and countries. Fairs and festivalsThere are one old temples dedicated to Maari amman at Kuravan Palayam. Media and communicationKuravan Palayam has two major English dailies, The Hindu and the New Indian Express. Tamil-language morning dailies include Dina Malar, Dina Thanthi, Dina Mani and Dinakaran, and there are two evening papers, Tamil Murasu and Malar. A shortwave radio station is operated by All India Radio, with most programmes in Tamil, English and Hindi.
