INAM TO YANAM

the name `Inam' was changed into Yanam(Yanaon) by the French in the course of time. People say that this region was presented to Mr. Bussy, the French General by a Vijayanagara King as a token of gratitude for the help rendered by Mr. Bussy in the fight against the rulers of Bobbili.  We can se his street named after `Bussy' here.  It s beleived that Bussy had stayed in a certain building in this street.

beauty of yanam

Once under the French control , Yanam is a picturesque little place on the banks of Gowtami Godavari (a branch of Godavari river which merges in the Bay of Bengal near Yanam) near Kakinada, the district headquarters of East Godavari district. Yanam forms a part of Puducherry and is therefore, a distinct enclave within East Godavari district. It has great tourist potential, with its colonial past and scenic surroundings of the East Godavari district. Only in the past decade, some concerted efforts have been seen to tap the potential of Yanam by the Puducherry administration.

 

Yanam is one of the regions in the Union Territory of Puducherry . which is 870 Kms away from it. It is situated on the East Coast of the Indian Peninsula at 16 degrees 42' northern latitude, and between 82 degree 11'  Eastern longitude bounded on all sides by the East Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh State. 

The town of Yanam lies on the spot where the River Coringa(Atreya) branches off from Gauthami into two parts. The entire region, consisting of Yanam town and six villages is treated as Municipality for purposes of local administration. The region, which covers an area of 30.0 Sq. K.Mtr, has a population of 31,362 according to the 2001 census. The region is bounded on the east and south by river Gauthami Godavari river which discharges itself into Bay of bengal after flowing almost 14 Kms towards east from Yanam
