Adoor Municipality

Adoor Municipality is the municipal corporation responsible for the civic administration of Adoor town, located in the Adoor taluk of Pathanamthitta district in the Indian state of Kerala. It is a local self-government institution operating under the framework of the Kerala Municipality Act, with its jurisdiction covering the Adoor village area. The municipality is divided into 28 wards, each represented by an elected councillor. The current chairperson of the municipality is Ummann Thomas. The municipality provides essential urban services such as sanitation, water supply, waste management, street lighting, and maintenance of local roads and public spaces. It also oversees urban planning and development within its limits. Adoor is known for its educational institutions and religious sites, including the Parthasarathy Temple, which is a prominent landmark in the town centre. The municipality plays a key role in coordinating these civic and cultural assets. As a state-owned entity, it is funded through local taxes, state government grants, and other municipal revenues. Its administrative office is located in Adoor town, and its official website serves as a portal for citizen services and information.

Adoor was part of Kunnathoor taluk in Kollam district until 1 November 1982, when Pathanamthitta district was formed and Adoor became part of it. Until 1 April 1990, Adoor was a panchayat (village council). On that date, it was elevated to municipality status. Following the upgrade, the panchayat committee was dissolved and the municipality began functioning under a special officer. The first municipal election was held in 1995, in which Chackanattu Rajendran was elected as the first chairman of Adoor Municipality. The municipality has since grown in administrative scope and now comprises 28 wards. It continues to serve as the primary urban local body for Adoor town, coordinating civic services and development activities in the region.
