School, and a muslim primary school in "Kulamukku", and one in pallipuram. The near by high schools are one in Trithala High School and Nadaparambu High School. Near by college is Govt. Sanskrit college Pattambi. A new bridge is coming over bharathapuzha to connect pallipuram and trithala (Velliyam kadavu regulator cum bridge) the work is almost finished. Pallipuram has a heady mix of Hindu and Muslim population. The temples of the region are Sri Kodikunnath Baghavathi Temple, Pallipuram Sri Krishna Temple, Cherangara Sri Maha Vishnu Temple and so on. Of these Sri Kodikunnath Baghavathi Temple is very famous and people from even other states of India come and pay homage to the presiding deity. Now the temple is under a grand renovation project. The village also has a Mosque. The village has a C class Cinema Hall, a good bunch of shops at the Kodikunnu Centre. There is a public Library at the Kodikunnu Centre. The village also has a Government Ayurveda Hospital and a Post Office. Agriculture and Agro based labour is the main occupation of people in these parts. Almost one in every two family here has a person working outside Kerala or even outside India and thus Money-Orders are a critical component of the life here. The village has also contributed interesting personalities to the society - M.T.Vasudevan Nair, the famous literary figure hails from here. Bharatha Circus, which at one point of time had a pan-India presence was founded by a person of this village. The two most critical problems of this village are - a)lack of employment for its well educated youth and b)illegal sand mining along the Bharathapuzha river. Both the LDF and the UDF have a presence here. The BJP is also making its presence felt in a small way. Panchayat elections turn out to be very interesting. The village is lush green like any other in this part of the world and obviously Cocounut trees are the King. Cows, Buffaloes, goats and sheeps are the cattle grown. People here love Cricket but are cracy about Football. (In fact Kerala as a whole and Malabar in particular follows Football very well). |
