Madayi Grama Panchayat

Madayi Grama Panchayat covers approximately 16.71 square kilometers of rural landscapes and small settlements within the Kannur district of Kerala, serving as a local self-government body responsible for civic administration and development activities in the region.

Madayi was historically part of the ancient Chera kingdoms, with medieval documents referencing its longstanding significance as a settlement and trading hub that contributed to the socio-economic development of the region over centuries.

The panchayat hosts numerous festivals and religious observances centered around local temples, mosques, and churches, reflecting the diverse traditions and community practices that strengthen social bonds among residents through folk arts, dance, and music performances.

Madayi residents can access essential services through government offices including the village office and Krishi Bhavan, while banking facilities are provided by Kerala Gramin Bank, Canara Bank, and Federal Bank branches located within the panchayat boundaries.

The panchayat actively engages in conservation efforts to preserve its temples, natural resources, and cultural artifacts while promoting sustainable development through eco-awareness campaigns and environmental protection initiatives that align with state-level policies.
