'''Neendoor''' is a very small town in the [[Kottayam district]] in [[Kerala]], [[India]]. The town is located 8&nbsp;km [[north]] of Kottayam town, and is [[border]]ed by the towns of [[Kaipuzha]], [[Athirampuzha]], [[Kallara]], [[Manjoor (village)|Manjoor]], [[Vechoor]], and Onamthuruthu.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
<br />
Needoor is on the northern border of "Kuttanadu," 16&nbsp;km from Kottayam and 7.5&nbsp;km from Ettumanoor. In old days, say up until the early 1990s, the "punchapadam" (rice fields) gave a distinct Kuttandu look for Neendoor. The greenery is still there, what are missing are rice fields and farming. The income comes now mostly from non-farming.<br />
<br />
==Economy==<br />
In terms of pure currency in-flow, money sent by ex-pats play a huge role (Middle East, USA, UK, Australia etc.) . [[Rubber]] is Neendoor's major [[cash crop]]. Up until the late 1970s, [[rice]] was a major cash crop as well. However, in the last several [[decade]]s, the local [[economy]] has increasingly been bolstered by cash sent by Indian expatriates living in the [[Middle East]], the [[United States]], the [[United Kingdom]], and [[Australia]]. This foreign support has contributed to the town's development in recent years - for example, with large [[mansions]] replacing the existing small houses. For whatever reason, many expatriates who worked out of state or out of country all their working life come back to Neendoor at retirement and prefer to build a house in the already crowded neighborhood.<br />
<br />
==Education==<br />
Nearly 100% of the young adults will graduate from high school and a big majority will get some college education or a degree. Although English is rarely spoken, most college level students can understand and write in English.<br />
<br />
==Demographics==<br />
The population of Neendoor is primarily of [[Hindu]]s and [[Knanaya]] [[Catholic]]s. The famous lord Muruga temple [[Neendoor Subrahmanya Swami Temple]] is located in this place. The [[patron saint]] of the area is [[St. Michael]], after whom the local [[parish]] [[church (building)|church]] is named. Fr. Shaji Vadakkethotty is the present parish priest who is also the superior of missionaries of St. Pius X, Arch Eparchy of Kottayam and former forane vicar of Holy Family Forane Church, Rajapuram. With the increase in automobile population, gone are the days of quite streets and all people walking to church for Sunday masses. A significant percentage of Neendoor's residents of Kna heritage has [[human migration|migrate]]d to the US, Australia and the UK in the last few decades. With the privatization of professional colleges many and attending engineering and other technical schools lately. One of the recent trent seen among the younger generation is to get into a medical career (such as nursing, or X-ray technician) and to find a job abroad.<br />
