History of Block Panchayat

Pallom Block Panchayat was established during the First Five-Year Plan as part of the nationwide Community Development Programme launched in 1952. The first office began functioning in the Pallom area, which was then part of the present-day Kottayam Municipality. Under the leadership of its first Block Development Officer (BDO), Shri Thomas, a native of Thiruvananthapuram, the office initially operated in a rented building. It was later relocated to two acres of land generously donated free of cost by Shri Thomas Alexander Jacob (Kaithayil Sunny), a native of Vadavathoor.
