Semmanipatti, also called Semminipatti or Chemminipatti, is a village in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Situated at a distance of 29 kilometres (18 mi) North of Madurai and 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Vadipatti on the National Highway (NH 7). "The soul of India lives in its villages", declared M. K. Gandhi (Father of India). This is the mantra of semminipatti villagers.
Semminipatti village comes under the control of its own administrative office as well as vadipatti tehsil (known as taluk) office. Semminipatti village has one Government forest office for controlling the Sirumalai hills. The hills have famous waterfalls and controlled near by village (Kutladampatti) administrative office. There are 600 families, all of the Hindu religion.
Semminipatti does not have its own post office or police station. The village is served by the post office in nearby Katchaikatti village, whilst Vadipatti police station is responsible for Semmanipatti.
Two decades ago Semminipatti was famous for Khap generally known as panchayats. Its always performed in chavadi (Temple as well as resting place for farmers who worked hard in days and taking rests in evening till midnight), chavadi is located in the centre place (mostly known as assembly place) of village. For past 10 years there is no panchayats performed in this village after the Indian Supreme Court has declared illegal ‘khap panchayats' which often decree or encourage honour killings or other institutionalised atrocities against boys and girls of different castes and religions who wish to get married or have married.
All the families mostly depend on Agriculture. Semminipatti is the largest producer of coconuts for vadipatti weekly market (formerly known as chandhai). The farmers are producing the rice, groundnuts (peanuts), sugarcane, banana, brinjal, tomatoes, onions, cottons, fruits like mangoes, sapota, black grapes and flowers like jasmine.
