Ezhome Grama Panchayat, Local governance center in Kannur district, India
Ezhome Grama Panchayat is a local administrative division in Kannur district, Kerala. The area consists of several villages served by a network of local government offices and administrative departments.
Ezhome was established as a panchayat to support decentralized administration in India's rural areas. This development was part of a broader national effort to strengthen grassroots governance.
With a population exceeding 20,000 residents, Ezhome maintains traditional Kerala customs while implementing modern administrative practices through its 14 electoral wards.
Visit the local administration offices during their standard working hours to access services. The facilities are open to residents and visitors seeking information about municipal services and local administrative matters.
Ezhome panchayat was declared India's first fully literate gram panchayat, a status reached through a collective campaign begun in 1984 by CANFED and villagers, led by P. N. Panicker, P. T. Bhaskara Panicker and V. R. V. Ezhome, known as Ravimash. The 2011 Census recorded literacy of 95.3%, with men at 98% and women at 93.2%.
