The Cararra Group Estate is situated in the Sheveroy Hills, a towering mountain range with peaks up to 1,620 M.A.S.L in the Tamil Nadu state. The state is the home of the Tamil people, whose Tamil language - one of the longest surviving classical languages in the world - is widely spoken and serves as its official language. The local Tamil name of the mountain range comes from the local deity, Servarayan. The region of the Servarayans form part of the southern ranges of the Eastern Ghats System, which cover an area of over 400 square kilometers. The areas water resources entirely dependent on monsoon rains and thereby it is prone to droughts when the monsoons fail. As Tamil Nadu is one of the most industrialised states in India, agriculture does not make up the largest part of the economy. This makes it all the more important for farmers to diversify their business so that their income does not depend on a single crop.
