Puduppady Grama Panchayat

Puduppady Grama Panchayat is a local self-government institution in Kozhikode district covering a substantial land area with undulating terrain. Multiple rivers and streams cross through the region, supporting the fertile farmland that dominates its landscape.

The area was originally part of a larger administrative unit before the Kerala Panchayat Act of 1960 led to the creation of separate local bodies. It became established as an independent governing institution and has functioned as an autonomous administrative unit since then.

The village reflects the participation of different political groups in local governance, shaping how the community makes decisions together. This diversity is visible in everyday conversations and how local matters are discussed among residents.

The region benefits from a high literacy rate among its residents, indicating a well-educated community. The postal code 673586 serves the entire area, making it straightforward to identify and access locations within the jurisdiction.

The name comes from 'Paadi', meaning small shelters that estate owners built for workers they brought from other regions. This origin reflects the area's historical migration patterns and how its economy developed.
