 MOTIF

Thrissur Pooram

Thrissur/ Thrissivaperoor pooram commonly called the pooram of all poorams is one of the
mammoth pooram festival in Kerala. Thrissur pooram started two centuries back the then ruler of Cochin,
Sakthan Thampuran or Raja Rama Varma, in 1798. Sakthan Thampuran, so known for his firm and decisive
administration, decided to break tradition and started to celebrate the pooram festival belonging to his
region. Before the initiation of Thrissur pooram, Arattupuzha festival was the largest temple festival,
which is around 12 Km from the city. Temples near the Thrissur were the regular participants of the
Arattupuzha pooram untile they were denied by the chief of Peruvanam Gramam due to the delayed entry
of the Thrissur and Kuttanellur termple. This caused the Thrissur Naduvazhi, the chief poojari of
Vadakkunnathan, known as Yogadiripad and the Kuttanellur Naduvazhi started the pooram in Thrissur.This
pooram started as an act of reprisal quickly lost its charm, after infighting between the two main Naduvazhis.
It required the intervention of the ruler to get this right. Sakthan Thampuran unified the 10 temples
situated around Vadakkunnathan temple and organized the celebration of Thrissur Pooram as a mass
festival. He ordained these temples into two groups, Western group and Eastern group. The Western group
as Thiruvambady consisting of Kanimangalam, Laloor, Ayyanthole, Nethilakkavu and the Thiruvambady
temple, as the main one. The Eastern group called as Paramekkavu, consisting in addition to Paramekkavu
temple, Karamukku, Chembukavu, Choorakottukavu and Panamukkamppilly. The pooram was to be centered
around the Vadakkunnathan temple, with all these temples sending their poorams (the whole procession),
to pay obeisance to the Shiva, the presiding deity. The Thampuran is believed to have chalked out the
program and the main events of the Thrissur pooram festival. It is this historical background that determines
the course of the pooram program and it is specifically the rulers antipathy to the Brahmin aristocracy to
open Thrissur pooram for the common man.

 FOREWORD

The District Census Handbook (DCHB) is an important publication of the Census Organization
since 1951. It contains both Census and non Census data of urban and rural areas for each District. The
Census data provide information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population at the
lowest administrative unit i.e. of each Village and Town and ward of the District. The Primary Census
Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains Census data including data on household amenities collected
during 1st.phase of the Census i.e. House Listing and Housing Census. The non Census data presented in the
DCHB is in the form of Village Directory and Town Directory contain information on various infrastructure
facilities available in the village and town viz; education, medical, drinking water, communication and
transport, post and telegraph, electricity, banking, and other miscellaneous facilities. Later on, the Telegraph
Services were closed by the Government of India on 15th July, 2013. The data of DCHB are of considerable
importance in the context of planning and development at the grass-root level.

2. In the 1961 Census, DCHB provided a descriptive account of the District, administrative statistics,
Census tables and Village and Town Directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed
in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to Village and Town Directory,
Part-B to Village and Town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, District
Census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of Villages. The 1981
Census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained Village and Town Directory and Part-B the PCA
of Village and Town including the SCs and STs PCA up to Tahsil/Town levels. New features along with
restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were added. In Village Directory, all amenities
except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent Village, the
distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given.
3. The pattern of 1981 Census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except the format
of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-
fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition, sex wise population in 0-6 age
group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more
realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991
Census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 Census was the Community Development Block (CD
Block) level presentation of Village Directory and PCA data instead of the traditional Tahsil/Taluk/PS level
presentation.
4. As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was improved by including some
other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and most
important commodity manufactured in a Village in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier Censuses. In
Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was enlarged by including details
on all slums instead of notified slums.
5. The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a number
of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. These newly added amenities are: Pre-Primary School,
Engineering College, Medical College, Management Institute, Polytechnic, Non-formal Training Centre,
Special School for Disabled, Community Health Centre, Veterinary Hospital, Mobile Health Clinic, Medical
Practitioner with MBBS Degree, Medical Practitioner with no degree, Traditional Practitioner and faith
Healer, Medicine Shop, Community Toilet, Rural Sanitary Mart or Sanitary Hardware Outlet in the Village,

7
Community Bio- gas, Sub Post Office, Village Pin Code, Public Call Office, Mobile Phone Coverage, Internet
Cafes/ Common Service Centre, Private Courier Facility, Auto/Modified Autos, Taxis and Vans, Tractors,
Cycle-pulled Rickshaws, Carts driven by Animals, Village connected to National Highway, State Highway,
Major District Road, and Other District Road, Availability of Water Bounded Macadam Roads in Village,
ATM, Self-Help Group, Public Distribution System(PDS) Shop, Mandis/Regular Market, Weekly Haat,
Agricultural Marketing Society, Nutritional Centers (ICDS), Anganwadi Centre, ASHA (Accredited Social
Health Activist), Sports Field, Public Library, Public Reading Room, Assembly Polling station, Birth & Death
Registration Office. In the Town Directory, seven Statements containing the details and the data of each
Town have been presented viz.; (i)-Status and Growth History of Towns,(ii)- Physical Aspects and Location
of Towns, (iii)-Civic and other Amenities, (iv)-Medical Facilities, (v)-Educational, Recreational & Cultural
Facilities, (vi)- Industry & Banking, and (vii)- Civic & other amenities in Slums respectively. Taluk wise data
of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 Census as presented in earlier
Census.
6. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two parts, Part-A contains Village and Town
Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract. Both the Parts have been
published in separate volumes in 2011 Census.
7. The Village and Town level amenities data have been collected, compiled and computerized
under the supervision of Dr.V.M. Gopala Menon, IAS, Director of Census Operations, Kerala. The task of
Planning, Designing and Co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant
Registrar General (SS) under the guidance & supervision of Dr. R.C.Sethi, Ex-Addl. RGI and Shri Deepak
Rastogi present Addl.RGI. Shri A.P. Singh, Deputy Registrar General, (Map) provided the technical guidance
in the preparation of maps. Shri A.K. Arora, Joint Director of Data Processing Division under the overall
supervision of Shri M.S.Thapa, Addl. Director (EDP) provided full cooperation in preparation of record
structure for digitization and validity checking of Village and Town Directory data and the programme for
the generation of Village Directory and Town Directory including various analytical inset tables as well as
Primary Census Abstract (PCA). The work of preparation of DCHB, 2011 Census has been monitored in the
Social Studies Division. I am thankful to all of them and others who have contributed to bring out this
publication in time.

 PREFACE

District Census Hand Book is a unique publication brought out un-interruptedly by the Census
Organization since 1951 Census. The publication is widely used by Administrators, Planners, Demographers,
Research Scholars and other data users. It contains village-wise and town-wise demographic and socio-
economic characteristics of the district along with the status of availability of civic amenities, infrastructural
facilities etc.
In earlier censuses, District Census Handbooks were published in single volume with two parts.
Part-A of DCHB contained Village and Town Directory and Part -B contained Village and Town Primary
Census Abstract data for each district. But this time, it is published in two volumes separately for Part-A
and Part-B of each district without changing the nomenclature of DCHB of 2001. This volume contains the
Village and Town Directory .

From 2001 Census onwards, the software designed/created by the Data Processing Division of the
Office of the Registrar General, India has been used for generation of tables. It reduced considerably the
time taken for preparation of the District Census Handbooks. District Census Handbooks are published in
Electronic form (pdf files) for the first time during the current Census.

I express my deep gratitude to Dr. C. Chandramouli, Registrar General and Census Commissioner,
India, for his encouragement and valuable guidance for completion of this volume within the timeframe.
I thank Shri Deepak Rastogi, Additional Registrar General (C&T), Shri A.P. Singh, Deputy Registrar General
(Map), Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar General (SS) of Office of the Registrar General, India for

 HISTORY AND SCOPE OF THE DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK

The need of data at the grass root level for the administrative and planning purposes at
sub micro level as well as academic studies prompted the innovation of District Census Handbook.
District Census Handbook is a unique publication from the Census organization which provides
most authentic details of census and non-census information from village and town level to district
level. The District Census Handbook was firstly introduced during the 1951 Census. It contains
both census and non census data of urban as well as rural areas for each district. The census data
contain several demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the lowest administrative
unit i.e. of each village and town and ward of the district. The non census data comprise of data
on availability of various civic amenities and infrastructural facilities etc. at the town and village
level which constitute Village Directory and Town Directory part of the DCHB. The data of DCHB
are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at grass-root level.
In 1961 census DCHB provided a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics,
census tables and village and town directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was
changed in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to village and
town direct ory, Pa rt-B to vi llage and to wn PCA and Pa rt-C co mprised analyti cal rep ort,
administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and
amenity data in respect of villages. The 1981 census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A
contained village and town directory and Part-B the PCA of village and town including the SCs and
STs PCA up to tahsil/town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of village
and town directory were added into it. In V illage Directory, all amenities except electricity were
brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in
broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given.
The pattern of 1981 census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except
the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was
given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 census. In addition, sex
wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable
the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been
treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 census. One of the important innovations in the 1991
Census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of village directory
and PCA data instead of the traditional tahsil/taluk/PS level presentation.
As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of V illage Directory was improved by including
some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines
and most important commodity manufactured in a village in addition to prescribed facilities of
earlier censuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was
enlarged by including details on all slums instead of notified slums.
The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a number
of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. In the Town Directory, seven Statements containing the
details and the data of each town have been presented viz.; (i)-Status and Growth History of towns, (ii)-
Physical Aspects and Location of Towns, (iii)-Civic and other Amenities, (iv)-Medical Facilities, (v)-Educational,

13
Recreational & Cultural Facilities, (vi)- Industry & Banking, and (vii)- Civic & other amenities in Slums
respectively. Taluk wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011
Census as presented in earlier Censuses. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two parts,
Part-A contains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract.
Both the Parts have been published in separate volumes in 2011 Census.

 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT

Thrissur with its rich history, cultural heritage and archaeological wealth is called the cultural
capital of Kerala. From ancient times, this district has played a significant role in the political history of
South India. Many rulers and dynasties beginning with the Zamorins of Kozhikode, Tipu Sultan of Mysore
and Europeans including the Dutch and the British have had a hand in moulding the destiny of this region.
Raja Rama Varma, popularly known as Sakthan Thampuran was the architect of the present Thrissur Town.
The word TRICHUR is the anglicised version of Thrissur which again is the abbreviated form of
Thrissivaperur meaning the abode of Lord Siva. The district got its name from the headquarters town. It
has recently shed its anglicised name and is now known as Thrissur.
Thrissur District has played a significant role in the history of South India from the pre-historic
period to the modern times. Scholars assign the age of the megalithic monuments found in various parts of
the district to a period ranging from the third century B.C to the first century A.D or even earlier.
The district played a very important role in fostering trade relations between Kerala and outside
world in the ancient and medieval periods. The district also helped to pave the foundation for a composite
culture in this part of the country. The sea port of Muziris of the Sangam age is the modern Kodungallur of
Thrissur district. It had the unique distinction of being Primum Emporium India. It played host to the three
communities of Christains, Jews and the Muslims who contributed to the prosperity of Malabar. It attracted
traders from all over the world viz. Assyrians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese
and Arabs.
During the Sangam age (the first four or five centuries of the Christian era) the whole of the
present Thrissur district came under the early Chera Empire. After the Sangam age till the beginning of the
9th century A.D hardly anything is known about the history of Kerala or that of the district. The history of the
district from the 9th to the 12th centuries is the history of Kulasekhara of Mahodayapuram and the history
since the 12th century is synonymous with the history of the rise and growth of Perumpadappu Swarupam.
The Cheras had established their capital at Mahodayapuram which was later moved to Kollam (Quilon) by
Rama Varma Kulasekhara Perumal, the last ruler of the second Chera Empire.
But Mahodayapuram continued to enjoy its importance as the seat of Perumpadappu Swarupam
for three more centuries from the 13th to the 15th century. Though the early history of the Perumpadappu
Swarupam prior to 1500 A.D is not available, the view is that the Perumpadappu Moopil or the ruler of
Cochin was the son of a sister of the last Kulasekhara and was hence considered as the direct heir under
matrilineal system. This linkage of the Perumpadappu Swaraupam with the Kulasekharas of Mahodayapuram
had won it the respect and allegiance of the chieftains and of the people, though it was not a major political
power till the advent of the Portuguese.
As result of the heavy floods of 1341 A.D the harbour at Kodungallur got completely silted and the
port became unfit for trade. In the very same flood the narrow sand banks which separated Cochin from
the backwaters were washed off and the present Cochin harbour emerged. And in course of time the
traders at Kodungallur migrated to Cochin and the importance of Kodungallur started dwindling.
One of the landmarks in the history of Perumpadappu Swarupam is the commencement of a new
era called Pudu Vaipu Era which commemorates the formation of Vaipin islands consequent on the great
deluge.
The 14th and the 15th centuries constituted periods of aggressive wars. During this period the Zamorin
of Calicut (belonging to Nediyiruppa Swarupam) was aiming at the political suzerainty of the region, which
led to war between the Perumpadappu and the Nediyiruppa Swarupams. In the wars fought in the 14th and
the 15th centuries, the Zamorin occupied large parts of the present Thrissur district. Taking advantage of the
dissensions in the Perumpadappu Swarupam, the Zamorin defeated the then ruler of Cochin and took
possession of the palace at Thrissur and had a ruler of his choice was installed on the throne of Cochin.

15
 When Pedro Alvarez Cabral, the Portuguese Captain came to Cochin on the 24th December, 1500,
the ruler of Cochin who had enmity with Zamorin, welcomed him warmly and gave him all trading facilities.
This distressed the Zamorin who demanded the expulsion of the Portuguese from Cochin territory. When
this was not conceded to, war broke out between the forces of Zamorin and the forces of Cochin assisted
by the Portuguese. But in 1513 and again in 1540 the Portuguese entered into treaties with the Zamorins
against the wishes of the ruler of Cochin.
The Portuguese continued to dominate the scene till the beginning of the 17th century when its
power in Kerala started declining. Internal dissension in the Perumpadappu Swarupam around this period
helped the Dutch in getting a footing on the Kerala coast. Kerala Chieftains had aware of the impending
doom of the Portuguese and so they looked upon the Dutch as the rising power and welcome them whole
heartedly.
The Dutch conquered the port of Cranganore (Kodungallur) and installed Prince Vira Kerala Varma
Mootha Thavazhy on the throne of Cochin and entered into a treaty with him. The treaties of 1673 to 1674
gave the Dutch more powers and this triggered off internal dissension in the royal house. The Zamorin
along with the Dutch fought against Portuguese and conquered them from places like Mapranam,
Arattupuzha, Urakam, Korattikara, Kadavallur etc. These places were not, however, initially handed over to
the Raja of Cochin as the Zamorin insisted on the war expenses being met by the former. But later when the
Zamorin invaded Irinjalakuda, the Dutch was forced to drive him back and Cochin territories occupied by
the Zamorin were handed over to Cochin ruler in 1710. Some more territories of Cochin still remained with
the Zamorin which the Dutch took over from him and handed over to Raja Rama Varma after defeating the
Zamorin in 1718 with the help of the Raja of Cochin. But the Zamorin again attacked Cochin during 1755-57
and by 1758 the whole of present Thrissur district except a small portion of Thrissur taluk came under the
possession of the Zamorin. But King Kerala Varma (1760-75) entered into a treaty with Travancore and
defeated Zamorin and took back from him the entire Cochin territory except Perumpadappu and a few
other villages in Vanneri before 1763.
From 1769 to 1805 Raja Rama Varma popularly known as Sakthan Thampuram, was at the helm of
affairs of Cochin state, though he actually ascended the throne in 1790. He cut the chieftains to size and
revamped the administration. However, during his period, Haider Ali of Mysore invaded Cochin and it
became a vassalage of Mysore. After Haider Alis death Tippu Sultan ascended the throne of Mysore. As the
king of Cochin declined to co-operate with Mysore in attacking Travancore, Tippu got sore with Cochin and
attacked internally the state from Coimbatore side in 1789. The huge Mysore army devastated areas of the
present Thrissur district. Tippu made Thrissur as the headquarters of the areas conquered by him in Kerala.
But when Tippu had to make retreat on account of the Srirangapattanam war, the Raja of Cochin entered
into a treaty with the East Indian Company. In 1809, the then ruler of Cochin who succeeded Sakthan
Thampuran was forced to sign a new treaty with the East India Company, which obliged Cochin to be a
subsidiary ally of the British. The period from 1812 in which year Munro was made the Devan of Cochin
marked the beginning of a new era of administrative progress.
Thrissur district was in the forefront of the freedom struggle also. In 1919 a Committee of the
Indian National Congress had started functioning at Thrissur. In the Civil Disobedience Movement of 1921
several persons courted arrest in Thrissur town and elsewhere in the district. The famous Guruvayoor
Satyagraha (1931-32) under the leadership of Sri. K. Kelappan and Sri. A.K. Gopalan roused all round
awareness against untouchability and helped the Temple Entry Movement gain momentum in the district.
In 1937 a political conference was held at Thrissur under the presidentship of Pattabhi Seetharamayya.
The state experimented on a type of diarchal system of government in which the administration of
certain departments was entrusted with an elected member of the legislature to be nominated by Maharaja.
Accordingly, Ambat Sivarama Menon of Cochin Congress party became Minister in 1938. But the people
were not satisfied with the system and there were agitations for full responsible government based on
adult franchise. On the 26th January 1941 a new political organisation called Cochin State Praja Mandalam
which subscribed to the aims and objects of Indian National Congress, was formed under the leadership of

16
Sri. V. R. Krishnan Ezhuthassan. The first session of Praja Mandalam was held at Irinjalakuda in January 1942
in the face of measures by the government to prevent it from taking place.
The district was active in the Quit India Movement also. On the 15th August 1942 a public meeting
was held at Thrissur to protest against the arrest of Mahatma Gandhi.
Following the decision of the Maharaja of Cochin to transfer all departments of the state
government except Law and Order and Finance to the control of Ministers responsible to the state legislature
the first popular government of Cochin, consisting of Panampally Govinda Menon, C.R. Iyyunni, K. Ayyappan
and T.K. Nair assumed office. Cochin achieved full responsible government after Indian attained
Independence in August 1947.
Thrissur District fostered very close link with Aikya Kerala (United Kerala) Movement. The concept
of Aikya Kerala was conceived as early as 1928 at the State Peoples Conference held at Ernakulam. The
Cochin Legislative Council which met on the 29th July 1946 under Sri. Kerala Varma, the Maharaja of Cochin,
favoured the formation of Kerala State. A sub-committee under the Presidentship of Sri. K.P. Kesava Menon
constituted for the purpose met at Cheruthuruthy in late 1946 and resolved to convene an Aikya Kerala
Conference. The conference was accordingly held at Thrissur in April 1947. The then Maharaja of Cochin
participated in the conference and declared himself in favour of the formation of United Kerala comprising
of three administrative units of Malabar, Cochin and Travancore.
The amalgamation of Travancore and Cochin states was done on the 1st July 1949 and the formation
of Aikya Kerala later on the 1st November, 1956.
The present Thrissur district is a part of erstwhile Cochin state. Cochin state had formerly been
divided into Nadus. Each Nadu was under a chief. This position continued till the regaining of territories
from Zamorin in 1763. These Nadus were subsequently divided into Kovilakathumvathukkals or Taluks.
Each Taluk was under the control of Karyakkar exercising both judicial and executive powers. The Taluks
were further divided into Pravarthis. This lowest unit of administration was managed by Pravarthiars
assisted by Menons or Accountants and Chandrakkars or cash-keepers. The taluks were grouped into
two divisions Vadakkemugham and Thekkemugham. Each division was under the control of a
Sarvadhikaryakkar. The Cochin areas in the present Thrissur district formed part of the Vakakkemugham
or the northern sub-division. Valiya Sarvadhikaryakkar or Prime Minister was the head of the administration.
The then Cochin state comprised of 10 Kovilakathumvathukkals (or taluks) viz. Cochin, Kanayannur,
Cranganore (Kodungallur), Mukundapuram, Kodasseri, Talappilly, Chelakkara, Enamakkal, Thrissur and
Chittoor. In 1860 the number of taluks was reduced. With effect from the 1st July 1949 a new district named
Thrissur was formed with 6 taluks of the erstwhile Cochin State viz. Talappilly, Chittoor, Thrissur,
Mukundapuram, Cranganore and Cochin-Kanayannur and taluks of erstwhile Travancore areas, namely,
Kunnathunad and Parur.

 ANALYTICAL NOTE

(i) PHYSICAL FEATURES

Natural region
The Natural Regions of the State is based on the regional classifications designed by the Census
Organisation. According to the classification, the whole country is divided into 4 Macro Regions viz., (i)
the northern mountains, (ii) The Great Plains, (iii) The Deccan Plateau and (iv) The Coastal Plains and
Islands. Kerala belongs to the 4th Macro Region The Costal Plains and Islands, which is again divided
into 4 Meso Regions. Of the 4 Meso Regions, Kerala falls under the Western Coastal Region which covers
the coastal tract from Maharashtra to Kerala State. The Meso Region is further divided into 6 Micro
Regions. The entire Kerala falls into such three Micro Regions viz., (i) North Kerala Coast, (ii) Central
Kerala Coast and (iii) South Kerala Coast. Thrissur District falls in the Central Kerala Coast. Each Micro
Region is further divided into Sub-Micro Regions on the basis of topography, geology, soils, climate and
natural vegetation. Thus Thrissur District consists of 4 such Sub-Micro Regions viz. (i) Thrissur Coast (ii)
Thrissur Plain (iii) Wadakkancherry Upland and (iv) Kodassery Forested Hills.The regional divisions
constituting Thrissur district is depicted in the chart given in next page.

 Location and size
Thrissur District is in the central region of Kerala State lying between 1010' and 1046' north lati-
tude and 7557' and 76 54 east longitudes. It has Ponnani taluk of Malappuram district and Ottappalam
taluk of Palakkad district on the north and Devikulam taluk of Idukki district and Kunnathunad, Aluva and
Paravur taluks of Ernakulam district on the south. Alathur taluk of Palakkad district and Pollachi taluk of
Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu are on its eastern boundary while the Lakshadweep sea is on the west.
Thrissur district slopes down from the Western Ghats in the east to the Lakshadweep sea to the
west forming three distinct natural divisions the highlands, the plains and the sea board. The highland
goes to heights of over 1220 metres above the mean sea level. The plains lay in gentle slopes upto the
backwaters. This region contains extensive paddy fields inter-spersed by rivers and canals. The sea board
lies as a narrow stretch bordering the sea. This sandy area is low and swamps and get flooded during heavy
monsoon.
Area
The area of the district is 3032.00sq.km and it constitutes 7.8 percent of the total area of the state
(38862.87 sq.km). It ranks the 5th among the districts in area.
Physiography
i) Thrissur Coast
This region lies all along the coast of Thrissur district. It has its boundaries with Malappuram coast
in the north, Thrissur plain in the east, Cochin coast in the south and the Lakshadweep sea in the west.
This coastal plain is drained by rivers like the Bharathapuzha, the Wadakkanchery, the Manali, the
Kurumali and the Chalakudy, besides a network of canals and backwaters. This plain slopes very gently
towards the west. The maximum height (55 m.) is found in the central-east portion i.e., at Kodannur village
of Thrissur taluk. The low-lying land, known as Koleland, lies as a continous belt from the central portion
towards the coast where the spot heights are 3 m, 10 m and 11 m etc. Paddy and coconut are the important
vegetation in the region.
ii) Thrissur Plain
This region is bounded by Pattambi undulating plain in the north, Wadakkancherry Uplands and
Kodassery Forested Hills in the east, Periyaar-Muvattupuzha Rolling Plain in the south and Thrissur Coast in
the west.

This region which is parallel to Thrissur coast has the maximum height of 118 m. at Amballur village
of Mukundapuram taluk and has the minimum height of 43 m. at Muringur Thekkummuri village of
Mukundapuram taluk. The central portion is an elevated area while the southern portion is low in height.
The average height of this region is 75 m. and sloping gently towards the west. This region is drained by the
tributaries of the Bharathapuzha, the Wadakkancherry, the Manali, the Kurumali and the Chalakudy rivers.
Paddy, coconut and cashew are the important vegetation of this region.

iii) Wadakkancherry Uplands

This region has its boundaries with the Palakkad Gap on the north and the east, Kodassery Forested
Hills in the south and Thrissur Plain in the west.

It is not a high mountainous tract but only uplands having outlying hills in the eastern extreme of
this region. Some knolls and hillocks are found here and there. The maximum height of this region is 208 m.
in Kondazhy village of Talappilly Taluk and the minimum height is 52 m. in its southern portion. Vazham
irrigtion project is located on a labb-land in the southern portion of this region which is sloping on all
sides.However, towards south its slop is gentle and through this spur NH-47 runs connecting Thrissur with

20
Palakkad. Arecanut, cashew, rubber, teak etc. are the main vegetation of this region. Coconut and paddy are
also cultivated here. .
iv) Kodasserry Forested Hills
This region lies in the south-eastern portion of the district forming its boundaries with
Wadakkancherry Uplands in the north, Chittur Forested Hills and Tamil Nadu in the east, Malayattur Forested
Hills and Anamalai Forested Hills in the south and Thrissur Plains in the west.
This forested hill has wet semi-ever-green forest. In its northern and southern ends Peechi and
Peringalkuthu reservoirs are located. This forest highland which is a part of the Western Ghats forms the
catchment areas of the Manali, the Karuvannur and the Chalakudy rivers. River terrraces are seen in the
middle portion. Numerous V shaped valleys are located in this tract which determines the course of
various streams. Scarp slope, waterfalls and rapids which structurally control and regulate the river directions
are found mostly in the middle and southern portion of this region. The region in totality is highly erosion
prone. The maximum height (1439 m.) is found in the southern end of the reserve forest and the minimum
height (416 m.) is found in the northern end at the Attur village of Talappilly taluk. It slopes towards the
north. Rubber and teak plantation are the vegetation cover of the area especially in the western end of this
region.
v) Mountains
The mountains of the district form an irregular outline along the Western Ghats with ridges and
conical peaks. The Machad hills in Talappilly taluk, the Paravattani hills in Thrissur taluk and Palappilly,
Kodassery and Athirappally hills in Mukundapuram taluk are worth mentioning. There are about 30 peaks
in the district with height ranging between 330 metres and 1439 metres. Karimalagopuram, the highest
peak in the district (1439 metres) lies at the boundary of Chittur taluk of Palakkad district and Mukundapuram
taluk of Thrissur district.

Drainage
Rivers
The main river system of the district are the Bharathapuzha, the Kecheri (Wadakkancherry), the
Karuvannur and Chalakudy.

21
 The Bharathapuzha

The Bharathapuzha (209 kms.) originates from the Anaimalai hills. The 4 tributaries of this river are
(1) Gayathripuzha (2) Kannadipuzha (3) Kalpathipuzha and (4) Thuthapuzha. It flows as northern boundary
of Thrissur district for about 40 kms. Many streams rising on the forests of Palakkad and Thrissur districts
join this river. Cheerakuzhy (also known as the Pazhayannur or Gayathri river) is a tributary of the
Bharathapuzha. The Killimangalam thodu also joins the river. The Bharathapuzha has a catchment area of
about 440 sq.km. within Kerala.
The Kecheri river
The Kecheri river otherwise known as Wadakkancherry river originates from the Machad hills flowing
westwards and touch Wadakkancherry, Nelluvayi and Kecheri before joining the backwaters of Chettuvai.
It has a length of 51 km. Vazhani dam is constructed on this river basin.
The Manali
The Manali river (originating from Paravattani hills) and Karumali river (formed by the union of
Chimoni rising from Palappilly hills and Muppili rising from Kodassery hills) combines at Palakkadavu near
Arattupuzha and assumes the name Karuvannur river (48 kms.) This river branches into two one emptying
into the Manakodi lake and the other into the Chettuvai backwaters. This river has a length of about 65 kms.
Peechi dam constructed across Manali river and Chimmoni dam across Karumali river help to control floods
and to irrigate land.
The Chalakudy
The Chalakudy river (130 km.) is the longest river in the district with 4 main tributaries namely
Sholayur, Parambikulam, Kuriar (or Thekkadi) and Karappara. Rising on the Western Ghat the river flows
through the forest lands for most part for a distance of about 80 km. and then through fertile tracts for
about 32 km. It then joins the right arm of Periyar river at Elanthikara about 10 km. east of Kodungallur. The
Hydro-electric projects at Peringalkuthu and Sholayur are the two main projects of the river. This river has
a drainage area of about 1704 sq.km.
Besides the above major rivers a rivulet namely Viyyur river rises from Paravattani hills and empties
into Enamakal lake.

22
 Sea Coast

The district has a long sea coast of about 54 km. lying between Punnayurkulam in the north and
Azhikode in the south. It is 9.2 per cent of the total length of coastline in the State. Azhikkal is the only
minor port on this coast. Chettuvai, a coastal village of the district has recently been developed into a
fishing centre with facilities for mechanised fishing.

Backwaters and Lakes

The backwaters locally known as kayals lie parallel to the sea coast inter connected by canals.
Forming part of a continuous water way from Vadakara to Thiruvananthapuram, the inland navigation
system of the district provides facilities for all types of country boats throughout the year. The water of
these backwaters is saltish for most part of the year except during rainy season. Kattakampal in Talappilly
Taluk, Enamakal and Manakkody in Thrissur Taluk are the important fresh water lakes in the district.

Climate

The large forest reserves favourably affect the climate and induce more rain in the district.
December, January and February are the coolest months of the year. March, April and May are generally
very hot. During the months of April and May the mean daily temperature rises upto 35C and in the days
of December-January, it may go down to 20C. In the mountain ranges, chilling cold is experienced whereas
lower down, the climate is bracing and in the plains, it is generally hot. Extreme hot and cold climate is not
experienced in any part of the district.

The district has a tropical climate with an oppressive hot season and plentiful and seasonal rainfall.
The hot season from March to May is followed by the south-west monsoon from June to September. The
period from December to February is the north-east monsoon season although the rain stops by the end of
December and the rest of the period is generally dry. The District has an average annual rainfall of 3109mm.
The following tables give a clear picture of the rainfall in the District and the State.

A cursory glance of the above table shows that Thrissur District has been receiving maximum
rainfall either during June or July. In the period under reference (2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11), the month of
January,February,March were almost dry except in the year 2007-08 when the district received 218.1mm
rainfall during March.
Forests
The entire forest area of the district is covered by Thrissur Forest Division, Peechi Wild Life Division,
Chalakudy Forest Division and Vazhachal Forest Division. Only a portion of Vazhachal Forest Division lies in
the district. Peechi-Vazhani Wild Life Sanctuary is located in the district. It was formed in 1958 and it covers
an area of 125 sq.km.
Thus the total forest area in the district is 1036.19 sq.km. which forms 32.12 per cent of the total
area of the district. It shows that one-third of the district is under reserve/vested forest. Vested forest in
the district is located in Thrissur Forest Division and it covers 4.3137 sq.km. area. Forest area of the district
is confined to Talappilly, Thrissur and Mukundapuram taluks.
The district has moist deciduous evergreen and semi-evergreen forests. The tropical evergreen
forests or shola with its luxuriant vegetation with lofty trees are found in the Sholayur valley. The semi-
evergreen forests which lie between the moist deciduous and evergreen forest occur in the Athirappally
reserve of Vazhachal Division. A unique venture under the Social Forestry Scheme came up at Kuthiran.
This is known as Vanavignana Kendra with a tree park and facilities to conduct studies on trees and
forestry.
The Kerala Forest Research Institute at Peechi is an institution which conducts ecological and
forest development research studies. The institute has a very good nursery of medical plants. The forests
with valuable trees like Teak, Ebony etc. give shelter to different species of animals and birds. The main
forest product is timber. High girth rose wood is exported to foreign countries. Other hardwood species
which command steady market are Irul, Pullamaruthu, Koramaruthu, Venga, Venteak, Pongu, Akil etc.
Minor forest products like Mattipal, Karuvelampatta, Marotti, Poovam, Zamalporia, Kanjiram, Elevangam
are abundant in these forests. There are also rubber, tea and coffee plantations in these forest tracts.
The Integrated Afforestation and Eco Development Project (IAEDP) supported by the National
Afforestation and Eco-Development Board under the Ministry of Environmental and Forest is under

24
implementation in Kerala from 1998-99 onwards. Eco preservation and sustainable management in selected
watershed is the ultimate aim of the scheme. Palakkad-Chelakkara watershed in Thrissur district is covered
by this scheme.
Flora and Fauna
The district with vast stretches of evergreen forests provides the natural habitat for a variety of
flora and fauna. Valuable medicinal plants, costly trees, diverse groups of mammals, birds and reptiles etc.
in these forests have the necessary ecological background to grow.
The low lands of the extreme west bordering coast line are dotted with backwaters and estuaries
of rivers. Its waters are abound in fish and afford feeding ground for many water birds, local and migrant,
while the plains have a rich fauna representing all groups. Among the mammals the primates are
represented by the langurs and monkeys.
Valuable trees like teak, rosewood, ebony, irul etc. are some of the forest trees. In the lowlands
paddy, coconut trees, arecanut trees, banana etc. are the main cultivations.
Minerals and mining
Thrissur coast falls under the alluvium bed and the only soil which occurs in this region is coastal-
alluvium. It is technically known as Psamments-Orthents. The geological bed of Thrissur plain is alluvial.
Major portion of Wadakkancherry Upland is coming under Charnockite bed. In its northern portion it is
having alluvium bed and basic dykes. The geological bed of Kodasserry Forested Hills is Charnockite,
unclassified granite, basic dykes.
Soil and cropping pattern
Sandy, alluvial, laterite and forest soil are found in the district. The coastal taluks of Kodungallur
and Chavakkad have sandy soil deficient in plant nutrients and limes.
Thrissur coast falls under the alluvium bed and the only soil which occurs in this region is coastal-
alluvium. Alluvial soil rich in organic matter, nitrogen and pottash but are deficient in phosphorous and
calcium is found on the low lying areas in the western region of Thrissur and Mukundapuram taluks and
stretches of Chavakkad taluk. It is technically known as Psamments-Orthents. The soil has originated from
recent deposits predominantly marine with some fluvial sediments along the coast line. Paddy and coconut
are the important vegetation in this region.
Thrissur plain has recently formed alluvial soil and coastal alluvium soil. Technically soils are
classified as orthents-tropepts, fluvents-tropepts-orthents and psamments-orthents. Paddy, coconut and
cashew are the important vegetation of this region.
Central regions of Thrissur, Talappilly and Mukundapuram taluks have laterite soil with hydrated
oxides of iron and aluminium. The eastern regions of Talappilly, Thrissur and Mukundapuram taluks have
forest soil.
Major portion of Wadakkancherry upland is coming under charnockite bed. In its northern portion
it is having alluvium bed and basic dykes. The soils are recently formed shallow, black, brown and alluvial
soils.
The soils of Kodasserry Forested Hills are laterite and shallow, black, brown and alluvial soils,
technically classified as orthents-tropepts, udults-tropepts. Rubber and teak plantations are the vegetation
cover of this region especially in the western end of this region.
Land and land-use pattern
According to agricultural statistics for 2009-10, the data on land use pattern of the District reveals
that forest occupies around 34.2 per cent. The pressure for non-agricultural use is increasing. The land
under non-agricultural use has increased to 12.12 per cent in 2009-10 from 11.27 per cent in 2000-01. The
net cropped area was 1271.85 sq.km and the area under current fallow (131.39 sq.km), fallow other than

25
current fallow (63.64 sq.km) and cultivable waste 6766 sq.km. The composition of the geographical area
classification is given below.

Tenancy
The important land tenures prevailing in the District before the enactment of the Kerala Land
Reform Act, 1963, were Jenmom, Inams, Anubhogam, Adima, Kanom, Kuzhikanom, Customary Verumpattam,
Kudiyiruppu, Cultivating Verumpattam, Ulkudi, Protected Ulkudi, Mulgeni, Chalgeni, Arwar, Illidarwar,
Vaidegeni, Netticut and Kumri, etc. The Land Reforms Act which was a landmark in the history of agrarian
reforms of the Country and the State and the subsequent amendments in 1966, 1969, 1971 and 1972 helped
the tenants to become owners of tenancy land. A number of landless agricultural labourers became holders
of land. Based on the Land Reforms Act and subsequent amendments, the implementation of Ceiling on
Holding and Distribution of Surplus Land came into force from early 1970. The ceiling area was fixed as 5
standard acres in the case of an adult unmarried person or a family consisting of a single surviving member
and 10 acres for a family consisting of two or more members. A family was not allowed to hold more than
20 acres in any case. Certain plantations were exempted from ceiling limits. Surplus lands were taken over
by the Government and distributed to landless poor, preference being given to Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes. A notable impact of these reforms was the reduction in the number of landless agricultural
households and the elimination of absentee landlordism.
Agriculture and Horticulture
The main cultivated crops of the district are coconut, rice, rubber, arecanut, tapioca, cashew, banana
and pepper. Paddy is however the most widely cultivated crop. During 1990-91, 74038 hectares of area was
under paddy. It had declined to 39215 hectares during 1998-99. There is a decline of 47.03 per cent in the
area under paddy cultivation during 1990-99. During 2009-10 it has further declined to 25439 ha. Kole
cultivation in the water-logged areas of Thrissur, Mukundapuram and Chavakkad taluks is a speciality of
the agricultural profile of the district. Thrissur district has been included in the Special Foodgrain Production
Programme for Rice launched by the Government of India.

26
 Coconut is the main crop of the district in respect of area under cultivation. The coastal region and
the lower slopes of the laterite hills of the interior parts of the district account for the major portion of area
under cultivation of this crop. During 2009-10, 77509 hectares of area was under coconut cultivation in the
District.
Arecanut, another perennial crop grown in almost all taluks is intensively cultivated in
Mukundapuram and Talappilly taluks, the major centres being Pazhanji, Wadakkancherry, Kunnamkulam,
Irinjalakuda and Thrissur.
Rubber is planted in Talappilly, Thrissur and Mukundapuram taluks. There was only 6861 hectares
of area under this crop during 1990-91. The area under this crop had almost doubled to 13290 hectares
during 1990-99. During 2009-10 there was 15017 ha of area under this crop. Cashew is grown in almost all
parts of the district especially in dry lands, and lands not suited for any other crop. Mango, Jack fruit,
Banana, Pineapple etc. are some of the main fruit crops intensively grown in the district. Banana cultivation
is done in almost all areas where irrigation facility is available. In the district 2464 hectares of area was
under banana cultivation during 2009-10 and cashew accounted for 2290 ha during the same period and
pepper is also cultivated in the district. Spices like ginger, turmeric etc. are also grown in small areas in
some places.
The headquarters of Command Area Development Authority is at Thrissur. The Authority is mainly
concerned with the formation and improvement of on-farm development works for scientific water
management.
There are seed farms and coconut nurseries in the district. There is an Oil Grading Laboratory at
Irinjalakuda working under AGMARK grading system.

The above table reveals the production of Rice during last ten years. Actually there was a sharp
decline from 2000-01 to 2009-10. The production of rice in the district during 2000-01 is 82105 tonnes as
against the state production 751328 tonnes.But in 2004-05, the production of rice is 87463 tonnes, which
is the maximum production among these 10 years. In 2010-11 the production of rice comes down 53079
tonnes as against the State production 522738 tonnes.The contribution of district towards the rice
production is 10.15 percent.
The season-wise data relating to production of rice during the last decade reveals that the maximum

28
production of rice is in the winter season while the minimum is in the autumn season.
The government has taken several measures for improving production of rice such as distribution
of improved seeds, integrated control management ,etc. As an incentive for sustaining rice cultivation, a
production subsidy has been extended to all the rice growing areas in the State. The electricity charges in
respect of irrigation and drainage for rice cultivation have been fully subsidized.
With the introduction of decentralized planning, there is increasing awareness about the need for
effective conservation measures. With the substantial assistance rendered by NABARD under RIDF and the
inclusion of a good number of projects as part of local plans, soil and water conservation activities in the
watersheds of the state have been started. The district is also covered under this project.
Irrigation
Optimum utilization of the water resources through appropriate conservation and management
measures assumes critical importance in sustaining the life support systems. The demand for water is
mainly for domestic, agriculture, prevention of salt water intrusion and for the generation of electricity.
Besides the conventional sources of irrigation like tanks and wells and private canals, the district
has five major irrigation schemes namely Peechi, Chalakudy, Vazhani, Chimmoni-Mupli and Cheerakuzhy
projects.
The Peechi dam across the Manali River is situated 24 km. east of Thrissur. The right bank and the
left bank canals of this project are 37.3 km. and 44.9 km. long respectively.The Peechi Irrigation Project in
Thrissur district envisages construction of a dam built across the Manali River one of the tributaries of
Karuvannur river. The project is intended for irrigating 17555 Ha land in Mukundapuram, Thalappally, Thrissur
and Chavakkad Taluk, through the left and right bank main canal and Branch canals. In addition to this,
drinking water is supplied to Thrissur Corporation and eight near by Panchayats from this reservoir.
The weir of 3.66 metres high and 185 metres long constructed at Thumburmuzhi across the
Chalakudy river forms the Chalakudy irrigation scheme with 37 km. long right bank canal and 19.3 km. long
left bank canal. The earthen dam across the Wadakkancherry River at Vazhani has a left bank canal of 39.2
long.
There are Chimmoni dam across the Chimmonipuzha and the Mupli dam across the Muplipuzha.
Under the Cheerakuzhi project a regulator across Gayathri River (Cheerakuzhi) at Kuzhipillipra has
been constructed to divert water through a main canal of 40.90 km. length on the left bank and disributaries
of length 9.80 km. This Project now irrigates 1620 ha of land in Talappilly Taluk in Thrissur District.
During 1995-96, 93299 hectares of gross area was under irrigation in the district. There was only
marginal increase in the gross area under irrigation in the district during 1999-2000. During 1999-2000,
94827 hectares of gross area was under irrigation.
The main activities of Command Area Development Authority include construction of channels,
field drains, and enforcement of Warabandhi and reclamation of water-logged areas. The Command Area
Development Activities were carried out in the completed irrigation projects namely Cheerakuzhy, Vazhani,
Peechi and Chalakudy. Agricultural activities like large-scale demonstration, adaptive trials, training to
farmers, soil conservation, land levelling and shaping and formation of beneficiary activities have been
completed. Participatory Irrigation management is being popularised under the auspices of CADA, which
is intended to create awareness among farmers. The Vazhani Project has an ayacut area of 3560 ha .
Animal Husbandry
Animal husbandry activities play a crucial role in socio-economic transformation of rural areas
especially in generating employment and income to the weaker sections of the population. The preservation
and development of the cattle wealth and poultry are also significant to production of major livestock
product of nutritional standard. Generally rearing cattle and poultry farming are the allied occupations of
agricultural workers. The animal power also constitutes the principle source of manure for agriculture.

29
 Animal husbandry department is vested with the animal health programme in the district by making
available timely veterinary assistance and attends to the welfare of the animals in the district. Animal
health has been well taken care of by the department by establishing a network of veterinary institutions
at different levels to provide veterinary aid in the district. There is a Central Veterinary Store at Thrissur to
supply medicines and other equipments required by veterinary institutions. Besides this, there is a
veterinary hospital at Kokkalai, a Livestock Farm, Poultry Farm and a Pig Breeding Farm at Mannuthy and a
Cattle Breeding Farm at Thumburmuzhy under Kerala Agricultural University. The only Veterinary College
of Kerala at Mannuthy is in this district.

 The livestock rearing which has a very long tradition in Kerala is assuming increasing importance as
a subsidiary occupation along with agriculture.
The homestead settlement pattern, the relatively high level of literacy particularly among women,
the highly favourable agro-climatic conditions which the Kerala economy possesses is in favour of livestock
rearing. However some of the recent developments in the Kerala farm pose serious threat for sustaining
the activity on a firm-footing.
Thrissur Dairy is located at Ramavarmapuram in Thrissur. It has a milk handling capacity of 0.60 lakh

Grama Panchayat
As per the recommendations of Shri Belavantha Rai Mehta committee and the administrative
implementation committee headed by Shri. E.M.S. Namboothiripad, the Kerala Panchayat Act 1960 was
passed with a view to promote development of democratic institutions and to secure greater measure of
participation by the people in development plans and in local government affairs by decentralization of
power and functions. The Act came into effect on 1-1-1962. Accordingly, 922 Panchayats were formed
comprising the entire rural areas of the State.
Panchayati Raj in Kerala works on the basis of the three- tier system and comprises of the Grama
Panchayats, Block Panchayats and District Panchayats.In Kerala, there are 992 Grama Panchayats, 152 Block
Panchayats and 14 District Panchayats.On the basis of 73rd and 74th amendments acts of the Constitution,
The Panchayat Raj and the Municipality Act came into effect on the 23rd of April and 30th of May 1994
respectively. This led to the decentralization of powers, responsibilities and projects of the Government
as they were transferred to the local self-government on 2nd October, 1995.The provisions for Gram Sabha
in a single village or a cluster of village were made by the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act of 1994. It laid the
provision of a three tier system of Panchayat for the first time in the village, block and district level.
Panchayats were vested with the powers and responsibilities of the economic development and social
justice of the State. The Panchyats were also responsible for the implementation of developmental schemes
and setting up of a Finance Commission for reviewing the financial status of the Panchayats.
In course of time certain Panchayats were converted into Municipalities and big Panchayats were
divided into smaller ones. The Kerala Panchayat Act 1994 is enacted for planned rural development and to
ensure peoples participation in the increased development of local area based on 73rd amendments of
Indian Constitution. This Act was amended in 1995 and in 1999 and based on recommendations of
decentralization committee, First Finance Committee and Election Commission; basic changes were
incorporated in 105 departments out of total of 285 departments. The special feature of these amendments
is that almost all administrative control of the state on local administration was done away with. In 2000 it
was amended again and power for division of wards and reservation of wards etc. were given to Election
Commission. In 2001 the OMBUDSMAN Act was amended providing for only a single member.
As per the Act, three tiers of administration namely Gram Panchayat, Block Panchayat and District
Panchayat are formed in each district of the state. A special feature of the Panchayat Raj is the formation
of Gramasabha where the common people can participate in the decision making.
Jurisdiction of Grama Panchayats is usually a village. However in certain cases more than one
village constitute the area of the Panchayat. The Panchayat is divided into wards. Elections in the Panchayat
are democratically conducted by the State Election Commission. Each ward of the Panchayat has an elected
member. The tenure of the elected member is five years. From the members of the wards the President
and Vice-President are elected. President is the head of the Grama Panchayat. For administrative purposes
a Grama Panchayat Secretary is appointed. He is a Government employee.
Gram Panchayats plays a very important role in the developmental activities of the village. The
gramasabha is held at least four times in a year and developmental plans are discussed, finalized and
implemented in the gramsabha meet was by the participation of people. Overall progress of the rural
population has considerably increased especially in sphere of economical, educational, cultural and social
activities in the last few years. In Kerala the 9th Five Year Plan was introduced through a special scheme

36
called Janakeeya asuthranam, which means grass root level planning by the people themselves. Through
this scheme, power was decentralized up to the grass root level.
In order to give a meaningful direction to the progress of decentralization; a decision was taken by
the state government vide G.O (MS) No 10/96 plg. dated 30-7-1996 that the plan programmes should
consist of schemes formulated and implemented by the local bodies within their area of responsibilities.
Accordingly the funds, which the state government received from Central Government for implementation
of various schemes under the five-year plan, are earmarked for Corporations, Municipalities, District
Panchayats, Block Panchayats and Grama Panchayats. The funds are transferred to the local bodies in two
components - The State sponsored schemes and Grant-in-Aid to Local Bodies. The former schemes are
formulated by the Head of the Department at the state level and they will be implemented by the Local
Bodies. The second scheme is for various plans formulated by the Local Bodies themselves under the
peoples grass root level Planning Programme (Janakeeya Asoothranam).At the time of 2011 Census there
were 39 Panchayats in the District.
The Grant-in-Aid to Local Bodies is given in three components: (i) General Sector, (ii) SCP (Special
Component Plan) and (iii) TSP (Tribal Sub Plan).
The General Sector outlay is allocated to the Urban Local Bodies and Three tier Panchayats on the
basis of urban - rural population in the respective areas. The provision for Urban Local Bodies is distributed
among the Corporations and Municipalities according to their population. The allotment for the Three tier
Panchayats was distributed to Grama Panchayats, Block Panchayats and District Panchayats in the ratio of
75 : 17 : 8 in the budget for 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10. The Plan Outlay is again distributed on the basis of
population in each Local Body.
The provision under Special Component Plan (SCP) is distributed among Corporations,
Municipalities and Three tier Panchayats on the basis of Scheduled Caste population in each area. The
share for each tier i.e., Grama Panchayats, Block Panchayats and District Panchayats was distributed in the
ratio of 60 : 20 : 20 in the budget for 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10.
The share under TSP (Tribal Sub Plan) has also been divided among the Three tier Panchayats on
the basis of urban and rural Scheduled Tribe population. The share for the Three tier Panchayats i.e., Grama
Panchayats, Block Panchayats and District Panchayats is in the ratio of 50 : 20 : 30 in the budget for 2007-08,
2008-09 and 2009-10 .

Each District receives Plan Assistance for General sector, Special Component Pan (SCP) and Tribal
Sub Plan (TSP). Of these the major allotment is for General Sector. Grama Panchayats receive the maximum
assistance. During 2007-08, the total assistance received by the District Panchayats,Block Panchayats,Muncipal
Corporation and Grama Panchayats in Thrissur District amounted to Rs.13840.40 lakhs. By 2009-10,the total
assistance has gone up to 16746.60 lakhs ie, an increase of 20.99%.Muncipal Corporation have received
considerable increase in assistance under General sector.In the TSP ,there was a fall in allotment from
Rs.8205lakhs in 2007-08 to 9863lakhs 2009-10.Similarly fall in allotment was noticed in SCP also from
5121.72 lakhs in 2007-08 to 6191.86 lakhs in 2009-10. These figures clearly show the increase in importance
of the role of Local bodies in the implementation of IXth plan programme.
Kudumbashree
Kudumbashree was conceived as a joint programme of the Government of Kerala and NABARD
implemented through Community Development Societies (CDSs) of Poor Women, serving as the community
wing of Local Governments.Kudumbashree is formally registered as the State Poverty Eradication Mission
(SPEM), a society registered under the Travancore Kochi Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Act
1955. It has a governing body chaired by the State Minister of LSG. There is a state mission with a field
officer in each district. This official structure supports and facilitates the activities of the community network
across the State.Kudumbashree differs from conventional programmes in that it perceives poverty not just
as the deprivation of money, but also as the deprivation of basic rights. The poor need to find a collective
voice to help claim these rights.
The grassroots of Kudumbashree are Neighbourhood Groups (NHG in short) that send
representatives to the ward level Area Development Societies (ADS). The ADS sends its representatives to
the Community Development Society (CDS), which completes the unique three-tier structure of
Kudumbashree. Today, there are 1.94 lakhs NHGs, over 17,000 ADSs and 1061 CDSs in Kudumbashree.It is
this network that brings women to the Grama Sabhas and helps them bring the needs of the poor to the
attention of the local governments. The Community Development Societies are also very active in
Government programmes and play significant roles in development activities ranging from socio-economic
surveys and enterprise development to community management and social audit.Though its efforts to
engage women in civil society in development issues and opportunities, Kudumbashree in association
with the local self government of Kerala is charting out new meaning and possibilities for local economic
development and citizen centric governance.
An initiative for poverty alleviation, this model was launched on May 17th 1998. It is now one of
the largest women empowerment related movement in Asia, having a total participation of about 37.8
lakhs.This mission is a joint initiative of the Government of Kerala and NABARD. It defines poverty as the
deprivation of basic rights and money. By its attempt to bring poor women in the state within its range,
Kudumbasree is now present in each & every Gram Panchayat; every welfare and development activity is
related and dependent on Kudumbasree to provide the community interface. This mission is mainly

38
centred on providing enterpreneurial,marketing and management opportunities to poor women and thus
making them self dependent in financial terms through vegetable farming and selling/marketing of farm
products. There are 16777 NeighbourHood Groups (NHG) functioning in Thrissur District
ii) CENSUS CONCEPTS
Building: A Building is generally a single structure on the ground. Usually a structure will have
four walls and a roof. Sometimes it is made up of more than one component unit which are used or likely
to be used as dwellings (residences) or establishments such as shops, business houses, offices, factories,
workshops, work sheds, Schools, places of entertainment, places of worship, godowns, stores etc. It is also
possible that building which have component units may be used for a combination of purposes such as
shop-cum-residence, workshop-cum-residence, office-cum-residence etc. But in some areas the very
nature of construction of houses is such that there may not be any wall. Such is the case of conical structures
where entrance is also provided but they may not have any walls. Therefore, such of the conical structures
are also treated as separate buildings.
Pucca houses: Houses, the walls and roof of which are made of permanent materials. The material
of walls can be any one from the following, namely, Stones (duly packed with lime or cement mortar), G.I/
metal/ asbestos sheets, Burnt bricks, Cement bricks, Concrete. Roof may be made of from any one of the
following materials, namely, Machine-made tiles, Cement tiles, Burnt bricks, Cement bricks, Stone, Slate,
G.I/Metal/Asbestos sheets, Concrete. Such houses are treated as Pucca house.

Kutcha houses: Houses in which both walls and roof are made of materials, which have to be
replaced frequently. Walls may be made from any one of the following temporary materials, namely, grass,
unburnt bricks, bamboos, mud, grass, reeds, thatch, plastic /polythene, loosed packed stone, etc. Such
houses are treated as Kutcha house.

Dwelling Room: A room is treated as a dwelling room if it has walls with a doorway and a roof and
should be wide and long enough for a person to sleep in, i.e. it should have a length of not less than 2
meters and a breadth of at least 1.5 meters and a height of 2 meters. A dwelling room would include living
room, bedroom, dining room, drawing room, study room, servants room and other habitable rooms.
Kitchen, bathroom, latrine, store room, passageway and verandah which are not normally usable for living
are not considered as dwelling rooms. A room, used for multipurpose such as sleeping, sitting, dining,
storing, cooking, etc., is regarded as a dwelling room. In a situation where a census house is used as a shop
or office. etc., and the household also stays in it then the room is not considered as a dwelling room. But if
a garage or servant quarter is used by a servant and if she/ he also lives in it as a separate household then
this has been considered as a dwelling room available to the servants household. Tent or conical shaped
hut if used for living by any household is also considered as dwelling room. A dwelling room, which is
shared by more than one household, has not been counted for any of them. If two households have a
dwelling room each but in addition also share a common dwelling room, then the common room has not
been counted for either of the households.

Census House : A census house is a building or part of a building used or recognized as a separate
unit because of having a separate main entrance from the road or common courtyard or staircase, etc. It
may be occupied or vacant. It may be used for residential or non- residential purpose or both. If a building
has a number of Flats or Blocks/Wings, which are independent of one another having separate entrances
of their own from the road or a common staircase or a common courtyard leading to a main gate, these are
considered as a separate Census house.

Village: The basic unit for rural areas is the revenue village, which has definite surveyed boundaries.
The revenue village may comprise of one or more hamlets but the entire village is treated as one unit for
presentation of data. In unsurveyed areas, like villages within forest areas, each habitation area with
locally recognized boundaries is treated as one village.

39
 Rural-Urban area: The data in the Census are presented separately for rural and urban areas. The unit
of classification in this regard is town for urban areas and village for rural areas. The urban area
comprises two types of towns viz; statutory towns and Census towns. In the Census of India 2011, the
definition of urban area adopted is as follows:
(a) Statutory Towns : All places with a municipality, corporation, cantonment board or notified town area
committee, etc .are known as statutory towns.
(b) Census Towns: All other places satisfying the following three criteria simultaneously are treated as
Census Towns.
i) A minimum population of 5,000;
ii) At least 75 per cent of male working population engaged in non-agricultural pursuits; and
iii) A density of population of at least 400 per sq. km. (1,000 per sq. mile)
For identification of places which would qualify to be classified as urban all villages, which, as per
the 2001 Census had a population of 4,000 and above, a population density of 400 persons per sq. km. and
having at least 75 per cent of male working population engaged in non-agricultural activity were considered.
To work out the proportion of male working population referred to above against b) (ii), the data relating
to main workers were taken into account. In addition the above stated towns, urban areas also constitutes
of OGs which are the parts of UAs.
Urban Agglomeration : An Urban Agglomeration is a continuous urban spread constituting a town
and its adjoining urban outgrowths (OGs) or two or more physically contiguous towns together with or
without urban outgrowths of such towns. In some cases, railway colonies, university campuses, port areas,
military camps ,etc; may come up near a statutory town outside its statutory limits but within the revenue
limits of a village or villages contiguous to the town. Each such individual area by itself may not satisfy the
minimum population limit to qualify it to be treated as an independent urban unit but may qualify to be
clubbed with the exiting town as their continuous urban spread (i.e., an Out Growth). Each such town
together with its outgrowth(s) is treated as an integrated urban area and is designated as an urban agglom-
eration. For the purpose of delineation of Urban Agglomerations during Census of India 2011, following
criteria has been adopted:
The core town or at least one of the constituent towns of an urban agglomeration should necessarily
be a statutory town; and
The total population of an Urban Agglomeration (i.e. all the constituents put together) should not
be less than 20,000 as per the 2001 Census. In varying local conditions, there were similar other combinations
which have been treated as urban agglomerations satisfying the basic condition of contiguity.

Out Growth (OG): The outgrowth is a viable unit such as a village or a hamlet or an enumeration
block and clearly identifiable in terms of its boundaries and location. While determining the outgrowth of
a town, it has been ensured that it possesses the urban features in terms of infrastructure and amenities
such as pucca roads, electricity, taps, drainage system for disposal of waste water etc., educational
institutions, post offices, medical facilities, banks ,etc and physically contiguous with the core town of the
UA.

City: Towns with population of 100,000 and above are called cities.

Household: A household is usually a group of persons who normally live together and take their
meals from a common kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevent any of them from doing so. Persons
in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of unrelated persons live
in a census house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not constituent of
a common household. Each such person was to be treated as a separate household. The important link in

40
finding out whether it was a household or not was a common kitchen/common cooking. There may be one
member households, two member households or multi-member households.
Institutional Household: A group of unrelated persons who live in an institution and take their meals
from a common kitchen is called an Institutional Household. Examples of Institutional Households are
boarding houses, messes, hostels, hotels, rescue homes, observation homes, beggars homes, jails, ashrams,
old age homes, children homes, orphanages, etc. To make the definition more clearly perceptible to the
enumerators at the Census 2011, it was specifically mentioned that this category or households would
cover only those households where a group of unrelated persons live in an institution and share a common
kitchen.
Houseless household : Households who do not live in buildings or census houses but live in the
open or roadside, pavements, in hume pipes, under flyovers and staircases, or in the open in places of
worship, mandaps, railway platforms, etc., are treated as Houseless Households.
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe
Article 341 of the Constitution of India provides that the President may, with respect to any State or
Union Territory, specify the Castes, Races or Tribes or parts of or groups within Castes, Races or Tribes which
shall for the purposes of the Constitution be deemed to be Scheduled Castes in relation to that State or
Union Territory. Article 342 similarly provides for specification of Tribes or Tribal Communities or parts of or
groups within Tribes or Tribal Communities which are to be deemed for the purposes of the Constitution to
be Scheduled Tribes in relation to the various States and Union Territories. In pursuance of these provisions,
the list of Scheduled Castes and / or Scheduled Tribes are notified for each State and Union Territory and
are valid only within the jurisdiction of that State or Union Territory and not outside.
It is important to mention here that under the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950, no
person who professed a religion different from Hinduism was deemed to be a member of a Scheduled
Caste in addition to every member of the Ramdasi, Kabirpanthi, Majhabi or Sikligar Caste resident in
Punjab or Patiala and East Punjab States Union were in relation to that State whether they professed the
Hindu or the Sikh religion. Subsequently, in September 1956, by an amendment, the Presidential Order of
1950 and in all subsequent Presidential Orders relating to Scheduled Castes, the Hindu and the Sikh Religions
were placed on the same footing with regard to the specification of Scheduled Castes. Later on, as per the
amendment made in the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order 1990, the Hindu, the Sikh and the Buddhist
were placed on the same footing with regard to the recognition of the Scheduled Castes. A member of
Scheduled Tribe may belong to any religion. However a person will be reckoned as belonging to Scheduled
Tribe only if the name of the Tribe appears in the list of Scheduled Tribes applicable to the State.
The lists containing the names of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes applicable for
Census of India 2011 in the State are given as follows:

Language and Mother tongue

As per the census concept, each language is a group of mother tongues. The census questionnaire
collects information on the mother tongue of each person and mother tongue is defined as the language
spoken in childhood by the persons mother to the person. If the mother died in infancy, the language
mainly spoken in the persons home in childhood will be the mother tongue. In the case of infants and
deaf mutes, the language usually spoken by the mother is considered as mother tongue. It is not necessary
that the language spoken as mother tongue should have a script. The mother tongues returned by the
respondents in census are classified and grouped under appropriate languages according to their linguistic
characteristics.

Literate
A person age 7 years and above who can both read and write with understanding in any language is
taken as literate. A person who can only read but cannot write is not literate. It is not necessary that to be
considered as literate, a person should have received any formal education or passed any minimum
educational standard. Literacy could also have been achieved through adult literacy classes or through any
non-formal educational system. People who are blind and can read in Braille are treated as literates.
Literacy rate

Literacy rate of the population is defined as the percentage of literates in the age group seven
years and above. For different age groups, the percentage of literates in that age group gives the literacy
rate.
Educational level
The highest level of education a person has completed.
Work
Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without
compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves
not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and direction of work. It even includes part
time help or unpaid work on farm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity. All persons engaged
in work as defined above are workers. Persons who are engaged in cultivation or milk production even
solely for domestic consumption are also treated as workers.
Reference period for determining a person as worker and non-worker is one year preceding the
date of enumeration.

Main worker
A person who has worked for major part of the reference period (i.e. six months or more during the
last one year preceding the date of enumeration) in any economically productive activity is termed as
Main worker.
Marginal worker
A person who worked for less than six months of the reference period (i.e. in the last one year
preceding the date of enumeration) in any economic activity is termed as Marginal worker.

44
 Non - worker
A person who has not worked at all in any economically productive activity during the reference
period (ie. last one year preceding the date of enumeration) is termed as Non worker.
Cultivator
For purposes of the Census ,a person is classified as cultivator if he or she is engaged in cultivation
on land owned or held from government or held from private persons or institutions for payment in
money, kind or share. Cultivation includes effective supervision or direction in cultivation.
A person who has given out her/his land to another person or persons or institution(s) for cultivation
for money, kind or share of crop and who does not even supervise or direct cultivation in exchange of land,
is not treated as cultivator. Similarly, a person working on another persons land for wages in cash or kind or
a combination of both (agricultural labourer) is not treated as cultivator.
Cultivation involves ploughing, sowing, harvesting and production of cereals and millet crops such
as wheat, paddy, jowar, bajra, ragi, etc., and other crops such as sugarcane, tobacco, ground-nuts, tapioca,
etc., and pulses, raw jute and kindred fiber crop, cotton, cinchona and other medicinal plants, fruit growing,
vegetable growing or keeping orchards or groves, etc. Cultivation does not include the following plantation
crops tea, coffee, rubber, coconut and betelnuts (areca).
Agricultural labourer
A person who works on another persons land for wages in money or kind or share is regarded as an
agricultural labourer. She/he has no risk in the cultivation, but merely works on another persons land for
wages. An agricultural labourer has no right of lease or contract on land on which she/he works.
Household industry worker
Household industry is defined as an industry conducted by the head of the household herself/
himself and or by the members of the household at home or within the village in rural areas and only within
the precincts of the house where the household lives in urban areas.
The larger proportion of workers in household industry should consist of members of the household
including the head. The industry should not be run on the scale of a registered factory which would qualify
or has to be registered under the Indian Factories Act and should be engaged in manufacturing, processing,
servicing and repairs of goods.
It does not include professions such as a pleader, Doctor, Musician, Dancer, Waterman, Astrologer,
Dhobi, Barber, etc. or merely trade or business, even if such professions, trade or services are run at home
by members of the household.
Other worker
A person who has been engaged in some economic activity during the reference period but not as
a cultivator or agricultural labourer or in Household Industry is termed as Other Worker (OW). The type of
workers that come under this category of OW include all government servants, municipal employees,
teachers, factory workers, plantation workers, those engaged in trade, commerce, business, transport,
banking, mining, construction, political or social work, priests, entertainment artists, etc. In effect, all
those workers other than cultivators or agricultural labourers or household industry workers, are Other
Workers.
Work participation rate
Percentage of workers (main + marginal) to total population
Population density
Population density is the number of persons inhabited per square kilometre of the area.

45
 Age
Age is measured in terms of the completed number of years.
Sex ratio
Number of females per 1000 males in a population.
iii) NON-CENSUS CONCEPTS
Concepts used in VD and TD of DCHB:
1. Educational Amenities:- The type of different educational facilities available in the village is given in
numbers. Both Government and private educational facilities / institutions are considered for this-
purpose. If there are composite schools like Middle schools with Primary classes, or Secondary schools
with middle classes, these are included in the number of Primary and Middle schools respectively. For
example, if in a village there are two Primary schools and one Middle school with primary classes, the
number of Primary schools in the village are given as three and that of Middle school as one even
though there may be only three educational institutions. So also in case of Secondary schools. For
better understanding, the distinctiveness of different types of schools is depicted hereunder:
1.1 Pre-primary (PP): Now-a-days, the children are sent to schools at a very early stage. Lot of pre-
primary schools, private schools in particular, have come up in villages and towns. These may or
may not be recognized by the competent authorities. Even many Secondary schools have classes
starting from preprimary level. Pre-primary classes include Nursery, K.G., Pre-basic, Play school,
etc.
1.2 Primary School (P): Schools providing education from Standard 1 and upward up to and inclusive
of Standard V are classified as Primary Schools.
1.3 Middle School (M): Schools providing education from Standard VI and upward up to and inclusive
of Standard VIII are classified as Middle Schools. A School with Class 1 to VIII is treated as two
units, i.e. one Primary School and one Middle School.
1.4 Secondary School (S): Schools providing education from Standard IX and upwards up to and
inclusive of Standard X are classified as Secondary Schools. A composite school with 1 to X standard

covered, and are designed to keep the water safe from contamination. Their main purpose is to
provide a buffer within the water supply system so that water supplies can be maintained across
periods of varying demand.
14.2 River Infiltration Gallery: Infiltration Galleries are capable of supplying large quantities of water,
and are used where wells are unable to supply water needs, i.e. where an impermeable rock
barrier affects well efficiency, or where surface water sources are too shallow for intake screens.
Infiltration galleries are one or more horizontal screens placed adjacent to (on-shore), or directly
underneath (bed-mounted), a surface water source.
14.3 Bore Well Pumping System: A bore well is a well of 6" to 12" in diameter drilled into the earth for
retrieving water. The depth of a bore well can vary from 50 feet to 3000 feet. Water is pumped out
to surface through electricity/generator.

53
Municipality etc.
Size class of U.A./town : Size-class of U.A./Town is based on the population size of the U.A./City/
Town.
U.A.s/Towns with 100,000 and above population are classified as Class I U.A.s/ Towns. Towns with
50,000 to 99,999 population are classified as Class II towns, 20,000 to 49,999 population are Class III towns,
population with 10,000- 19,999 are Class IV towns, population with 5,000 and 9,999 are Class V towns and
towns with less than 5,000 population are Class VI towns.
Slum area : The Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1956, which was enacted by the
Central Government defined slums as (a) Areas where buildings are in any respect unfit for human habita-
tion; or (b) are by reasons of dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty arrangement and design of such buildings,
narrowness or faulty arrangement of streets, lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities, or any combi-
nation of these factors, are detrimental to safety, health or morals.

Mega city : The concept of Mega city is a recent phenomenon in the Urban Sociology and is defined
in term of metropolitan city in the form of large size, problem of management of civic amenities and
capacity to absorb the relatively high growth of population. Indian Census in 1991 treated the population
size of 5 million and above as the cutoff point to identify a place as the mega city. Whereas, for the purpose
of inclusion in Centrally Sponsored Scheme for Infrastructure Development in Mega cities the Ministry of
Urban Affairs and employment, Department of Urban Development adopted the criteria of 4 million and
above population as per 1991 Census for Mega Cities. In 2001 Census, cities with 10 millions and above
population have been treated as Mega cities and the same criteria of population have been adopted in 2011
census.

 a) Distribution of population in Rural and Urban areas
The rural-urban classification is necessary for understanding the process of urbanization in the
district. The population of the District is divided between the urban and the rural areas in the ratio of 2:1
in 2011. The rural-urban ratio was also 3:1 in 2001. This indicates that there is major urbanization in the
district during the period from 2001 to 2011. Factually the urban population has increased from 839,433 in
2001 to 2096,406 in 2011 with the simultaneous decrease of the rural population from 2,134,799 in 2001 to
1,024,794 in 2011. The urban population has increased from 28.22 per cent to 67.17per cent during the
period 2001 to 2011. Among the taluks, Thrissur taluk is the most urbanized taluk. The urban population of
the taluk was 424,387 in 2001. It was 51.20 per cent of the total population of the taluk and 50.55 per cent
of the urban population of the district. In 2011, the urban population of Thrissur Taluk has increased to
761,606 persons. It is 87.08 per cent of the total population of the taluk and 36.33 per cent of the urban
population of the District. There was a substantial increase in the percentage of urban population during
the period 2001 to 2011. In 2011, the urban population of the taluk exceeds its rural population. This shows
that Thrissur taluk has become better urbanized in 2011. Urbanization is at a rapid pace at Thrissur Taluk
Out of the 107 newly formed census towns in 2011 Census, 36 are from Thrissur Taluk.
The rural-urban distribution of population in 2011 is diagrammatically depicted below:

The classification of towns in each Census is based on its population in the particular census. With
the growth/decline of population, the towns may change their size-classes. In addition to this, certain
towns cease to exist due to merger with other towns and declassification of towns as rural. New towns may
also be formed. In 2011 Census, there are 135 towns in Thrissur District. For classification of towns, six size-
classes have been formed. The size-classes are as follows:
Class I- Population 100,000 and above.
Class II- Population 50,000-99,999
Class III- Population 20,000-49,999
Class IV- 10,000-19,999
Class V- 5,000-9999
Class VI- < 5000.
In 2001 Census, of the 28 towns, there was one Class I town, two Class II towns, 13 Class III towns, 64
Class IV towns, 49 Class V towns and 6 Class VI towns. Thrissur Corp retained in size class as I and Kodungallur

Density
One of the important indices of population concentration is the density of population. It is defined
as the number of persons per square kilometre. The overall density of population per square kilometre in
Thrissur District is 1031 persons in 2011. It was 981 in 2001. The District had the 7th place in density of
population in 2001. In 2011 also, the District holds 7th the rank. Statement- 3 shows the density of popula-
tion of the State, District and various taluks during 2001 and 2011 Censuses.

Statement - 3
State/District/Taluk Density of Population

Kerala State 819 860
Trissur District 981 1031
Talappilly 872 930
Chavakkad 1933 2006
Thrissur 1316 1388
Kodungallur 2079 2148
Mukundapuram 600 625

Among the Taluks, there are considerable variations in density. Kodungallur Taluk has the highest
density of population i.e., 2148 persons per sq.km., which is much higher than the District density of 1031
persons. The next dense Taluk is Chavakkad (2006 persons per sq.km.), followed by Thrissur Taluk (1388
persons), Talappilly Taluk (930 persons) and Mukundapuram Taluk (625 persons) respectively. From the
above aspects, it can be concluded that Mukundapuram Taluk, the largest Taluk with an area of 1329.15
sq.km., has the lowest density of population. The reason is that sizeable portion of the Taluk includes the
forest area.
If the rural areas are considered , Kodungallur Taluk has the highest density of 2201 persons per
sq.km., followed by Chavakkad Taluk with 1706 persons, Talappily Taluk with 682 persons, Thrissur Taluk
with 442 persons and Mukundapuram Taluk with 418 persons. In rural density, Mukundapuram is at the
lowest ebb. In urban areas, the highest density of 2141 persons per sq.km. is witnessed in Chavakkad Taluk.

(1530 persons) and Talappilly (1354 persons) Taluks.
The urban density is usually higher than the rural density. Thrissur District too shows higher urban
density of 1805 persons per sq.km. Among the statutory towns, Chavakkad Municipality has the highest

Municipality have density higher than the urban density of the District (1805 persons). Among the 128
Census Towns, Nadathara (CT) has the highest density of 5029 persons per sq.km. Its density is nearly three
times the urban density of the District (1805 persons). Iringaprom, Methala and Nadathara Census Towns
have density higher than 3000 persons per sq.km. Parappukkara (CT) has the lowest density of 802 persons.

Edathirinji (CT) (967 persons) and Desamangalam (CT) (985 persons) have density less than 1000 persons
per sq.km.
In 2001, out of 204 villages, 189 villages, forming 92.64 per cent had density above 500 persons. In
2011, out of 98 villages, 81 villages, forming 82.65 per cent came under this category. There is a decrease in
the percentage of villages in this category. Except two villages Kuttichira and Pariyaram in Mukundapuram
Taluk, all the villages in the District have density above 100 in 2001 and 2011 Censuses. There are only two
villages in the density range of 101-200 persons per sq.km. in 2001 and 2011 Censuses. The number of
villages having density above 300 is 90 in 2011. It accounts for 91.84 per cent of the total number of villages.
The corresponding percentage was 95.59 in 200. The number of villages in the density range of 201-300 has
reduced from 5 in 2001 to 3 in 2011.
Sex-ratio
Sex-ratio is defined as the number of females per 1000 males in the population. In 2001 Census,

during 1901-2011.

The pattern of sex-ratio in rural and urban areas of the District in 2011 is graphically shown below.

59
 In 2011, within the District, the sex-ratio varied from 1076 in Thrissur taluk to 1181 in Chavakkad

Mukundapuram (1096) and Trissur taluks (1076). Generally urban areas have higher proportion of females
than rural areas. Thrissur district also confirms to this pattern.

Literacy

Literacy was a Census question in the very first Census of the Country. The definition of literacy has
undergone changes from Census to Census. In 2011, the same definition as 2001 Census is followed. A
person who can both read and write with understanding in any language is taken as literate. A person who
can merely read but cannot write is not a literate. People who are blind and can read Braille are also
considered as literate in 2011 Census. It is not necessary that a person who is literate should have passed
any minimum educational standard. In 2001 and 2011 Censuses, all children of age 6 or less are treated as
illiterate though they may be going to school and can read and write a few odd words.Statement- 7 shows

Religion
The collection of data on religion has been a part of Census since 1872 as religious composition of

c) Mother Tongue, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
Mother Tongue of 2001 Census
Language data was collected in India in the Census of 1881 onwards. In 1881, information on mother
tongue, which was defined as the language ordinarily spoken in the parental home of each person was
collected. In 1891 also similar information was collected. In 1901, the language ordinarily used by the
person was collected. In 1911, the language ordinarily spoken by a person in his own home was collected.
In the later censuses, information on language was collected generally following the above definition. In
1961 Census, mother-tongue was defined as the language spoken in the childhood by the persons mother
to the person or mainly spoken in the household. The same definition was followed in 1971. Information
on bilingualism also had been collected in the Census since 1901. However there were changes in the
implication of the questions in this respect. In the Census of India 1981, a new question on the language
mainly spoken in the Household was asked in the Household schedule along with two usual language
questions on mother-tongue and other languages known in the Individual Slip. In the Census of India,
1981, if a person had a working knowledge to converse with understanding in any of the languages, Indian
or foreign, other than his mother-tongue, a maximum of two such languages were recorded in the order in
which he/she spoke and understood them the best. In 1981, a question on the languages mainly spoken in
the household was not canvassed in the case of institutional households which are linguistically
heterogeneous.
In 1991 Census, two questions on language were asked viz. mother-tongue and two other languages
known through question Nos.6 and 7 respectively. In the Individual Slip mother tongue was considered
as the language spoken in the childhood by the persons mother to the person. If the mother died in
infancy, the language mainly spoken in the persons home in childhood was considered as the mother
tongue. In the case of infants and deaf mutes, the language usually spoken by the mother was treated as
mother-tongue. In case of any doubt, language mainly spoken in the household was considered.
In 2001 Census, also two questions on language were asked viz. mother-tongue and two other
languages known through question Nos.10 and 11 respectively. Definition of Mother tongue was same as

69
that of Census 1991. It is also mentioned that for a Mother Tongue script is not necessary. In 2011 also the
concept of Mother Tongue is same as that of Census 2001. Statement 9 shows the number of speakers of
prominent languages in the District during 2001 Census.

The villages having SC population are distributed in twelve SC literacy ranges based on the SC
literacy rate in the villages. For each SC literacy range, the number and the percentage of villages, the
related SC rural population and their percentage to total SC rural population are given. For the district rural,
the total number of villages having SC population and the total SC rural population are also shown.

The SC rural literacy rate for the district is 86.39 per cent. None of the villages in the district have SC
rural literacy rate below 70 per cent. The majority of the villages (60) constituting 61.22 per cent of the
villages in the district and covering 66.87 per cent of the SC rural population have SC rural literacy rate
between 81 and 90 per cent. 11 villages each have SC rural literacy rate between 71 and 80 per cent. About
27.55 per cent of the villages have SC rural literacy rate between 91 and 99 per cent.
