History of Grama Panchayat

History The spirit of nationalism resonated in this Panchayat from the beginning of the 20th century. The desire for independence that arose in the nearby areas of Panthalayani and Moodadi, along with the inspiration from the work of C. K. Govindan Nair, Kelappaji, and Kunhiraman Kidavu, motivated the people of Arikkulam. In the 1930s, the struggle for agricultural land began to grow under the leadership of the Farmers' Association (Karshaka Sangham). Public events like communal bathing in ponds (against untouchability) and communal feasting (Panthibhojanam) were organized against untouchability and feudalism (Janmithwam). Mass protests were organized against eviction, refusal to issue tenancy agreements (pattasheettu), superior claims on land (melcharthu), and rent increases.
