Edava Grama Panchayat

Edava Grama Panchayat is a local administrative body in Thiruvananthapuram district that serves multiple rural communities across its territory. The institution is divided into seventeen wards to manage various areas and meet the needs of residents.

This administrative body was established in 1952-1953 as a key step in building decentralized governance after India gained independence. The creation of local panchayats was crucial for establishing democracy at the village level.

The seventeen wards, including Kappil, Odayam, and Vettakada, maintain their individual identities while participating in community events and traditional celebrations.

The panchayat office is located in Edava and handles local administrative matters for the community. Visitors or residents can contact the office directly to obtain information or permissions for local services.

This administrative unit manages one official village and falls under multiple political constituencies that extend across the area. This overlap enables coordination between different levels of governance in the region.
