Neendakara is 30 km north of Paravur and 14 km south of Karunagappally town.[2]
History
When Portuguese traders settled in Kollam (then Quilon) in the early 16th century, their ships passed through the Neenadakara bar, now the site of Neendakara Bridge, part of National Highway 66, which connects the village to Sakthikulangara across Ashtamudi Lake.[2]
Etymology
In Malayalam, Neendakara means "a long bank".[3]
Norwegian Project
The headquarters of the Indo-Norwegian Fisheries Community project, established in 1953, was based in Neendakara until 1961, when the site was handed over to the Government of Kerala.[4]
