Cement Industry
Due to the abundance of limestone in the surrounding areas, Coromandel Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd setup a cement plant named Coromandel Cements Pvt. Ltd. near Chilamkur. It built a state of the art residential colony adjacent to the cement factory which was complete with a missionary school named St. Annes English Medium school, provisional stores, clubs, and a temple. The colony which primarily consisted of barren lands in the early 90s is now green with plenty of vegetation in it. The cement factory was later sold to India Cements Pvt. Ltd., which continues to sell cement under the brand Coromandel Cement.

Famous quotes containing the words cement and/or industry:
“It is fair to assume that when women in the past have achieved even a second or third place in the ranks of genius they have shown far more native ability than men have needed to reach the same eminence. Not excused from the more general duties that constitute the cement of society, most women of talent have had but one hand free with which to work out their ideal conceptions.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“No delusion is greater than the notion that method and industry can make up for lack of mother-wit, either in science or in practical life.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
