Administrative History

1977 

Nenmanikkara Grama Panchayat was formed in 1977 by bifurcating from Thrikkur Grama Panchayat. Formed as part of the reorganization of Local Self Government Institutions in Kerala, the Panchayat has been working for the social, economic and cultural development of the local people and the expansion of basic infrastructure.

People's Participation and Administrative System

From the time of its formation, a system of administration ensuring people's participation has been implemented in the Panchayat. The Panchayat has given due attention to incorporating the needs and suggestions of the people into its administrative activities through the active functioning of Gram Sabhas, development seminars and various welfare committees.

Development Activities

After the formation of the Panchayat, significant progress has been achieved in areas such as road development, drinking water supply, electrification, public health, education, sanitation, agricultural development and social security schemes. The development activities of the Panchayat were further strengthened through the successful implementation of various development schemes of the State Government and Central Government.

Growth Towards Decentralised Governance

Following the 73rd Constitutional Amendment of 1995, Local Self Government Institutions were entrusted with greater powers and responsibilities, and Nenmanikkara Grama Panchayat also developed into an institution that effectively implements people's planning programmes, decentralised development activities and social welfare schemes.

Towards Modern Administration

Under the leadership of elected representatives and employees during various periods, the Panchayat has achieved notable administrative accomplishments and has worked with a focus on public welfare, development, transparency and accountability. At present, Nenmanikkara Grama Panchayat functions as a model Local Self Government Institution providing people-friendly services by making use of modern administrative practices and technological systems.
