Koottilangadi
Grama Panchayat

Koottilangadi Grama Panchayat, located in Malappuram district of Kerala, is a region known for its agricultural prosperity and historical significance. Evidence of its rich cultural heritage can be seen in the ruins of the ancient fort at Chellur and the mysterious underground cave passage at Padinjattumuri. Surrounded by the Kadalundi River, the village also holds considerable geographical importance. Koottilangadi occupies a special place in the history of India's national movement. It was one of the major centers of activity for the renowned Congress leader Muhammad Abdur Rahiman Sahib. A significant chapter in the Panchayat's political history was written in 1936 when a month-long study camp of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) was held at Cheerakkuzhi in Mankada Pallippuram.
