Maniyur Grama Panchayat

Maniyur Grama Panchayat is a local administrative unit in the Kozhikode district of Kerala. It encompasses several villages and settlements operating under a shared governance framework.

This administrative unit was established in 1954 as part of Kerala's decentralization policy for local governance. It arose from the need to organize rural areas under their own administrations.

The educational landscape includes the century-old Mantharathoor UP School and multiple primary institutions dating back to 1880.

The location is reachable via National Highway 66 through Vatakara city, offering connections to larger urban centers. Access is best achieved through public transportation or local travel options.

Agricultural revitalization efforts between 2010 and 2016 successfully expanded cultivation areas from 300 to 900 acres within the panchayat boundaries.
