Thalakulathur Grama Panchayat, Rural administrative unit in Kozhikode district, India.
Thalakulathur Grama Panchayat is a rural administrative unit in Kozhikode district that serves as the local government body for multiple villages and settlements including Purakkattiri, Edakkara, and Pattarpalam. The jurisdiction covers approximately 21 square kilometers and functions as the primary administrative center for the communities within its boundaries.
The panchayat was established as a formal administrative structure to provide local governance in rural areas of Kozhikode district. Over time, proposals for merging it with neighboring administrative bodies emerged, yet it has continued to operate as an independent entity.
The local governance structure incorporates fifteen elected members who represent different wards, ensuring direct participation of residents in community decision-making processes.
The panchayat is located at a modest elevation and serves as the central point for all administrative matters affecting the local communities. Visitors should note that office hours are regular on weekdays and the area is served by a network of fourteen schools providing educational services to residents.
The panchayat operates within a dual administrative system that positions it both as an independent local authority and as part of the larger Chelannur Block Panchayath structure. This arrangement allows local issues to be addressed quickly at the grassroots level while coordinating broader initiatives through the block system.
