In July 1924, the Great Flood of 99 (referencing the Malayalam calendar year 1099), ripped through the erstwhile princely states of Kerala. Even Munnar, the picturesque hill town, wasn’t spared. In a heartfelt tribute, a special souvenir that meticulously documents the transformative changes that have shaped Munnar over the past century is being released by the Munnar GHS/GHVS Old Students Association.
