Puthoormadam (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) is a small suburban locality and village situated in the Kozhikode district of Kerala, India. It is primarily known for its residential character and its proximity to the growing urban infrastructure of Kozhikode (Calicut) city.
Geography and Administration
Puthoormadam falls under the Perumanna Grama Panchayat and is located approximately 7–8 kilometers from the heart of Kozhikode city. It is well-connected by road, particularly via the bypass that links to the National Highway 66 (NH 66).
Residential Growth
Over the last decade, Puthoormadam has transitioned from a quiet rural area into a sought-after residential hub due to its peaceful environment and accessibility to the city. The local economy is driven by small-scale trade, agriculture (historically), and a significant portion of the population working in the service sectors within Kozhikode city or as expatriates in Middle Eastern countries. The area is home to several local educational institutions, small temples, and mosques that serve as the cultural and social centers for the community.
Landmarks and Connectivity
The village is easily accessible through the Pantheerankavu and Olavanna junctions, located within a reasonable driving distance from the prestigious Government Medical College, Kozhikode.
