Administrative History

The present-day Velloor Grama Panchayat traces its administrative origin to the formation of Mevelloor Panchayat on 15 August 1953. At the time of its establishment, the Panchayat comprised the areas of Kalampoor, Thonnalloor, Varikkamkunnu, Vadakara, Karippadam, Irumbayam, Keevelloor, and Mevelloor.

Following the first Panchayat election held in 1953, a governing council headed by V. T. Paulose Thattarkery assumed office. In 1956, the Kalampoor region was transferred to Piravom Panchayat as part of an administrative reorganisation. After the Panchayat attained its present territorial jurisdiction, the first election under the revised administrative structure was conducted in 1963, resulting in the formation of a governing council under the leadership of P. Sivashankaran Nair.

Since its inception, Velloor Grama Panchayat has witnessed progressive growth in local self-governance. Successive elected governing councils have played a significant role in strengthening democratic decentralisation, improving civic infrastructure, expanding public services, and implementing sustainable development initiatives. Through effective leadership and active public participation, the Panchayat has continued to promote inclusive and people-oriented governance while contributing to the socio-economic development of the region.
