Nedumangad Municipality

Nedumangad Municipality is a municipal local government body in the Nedumangad taluk of Thiruvananthapuram district in Kerala, India. It administers the town of Nedumangad, which lies about 18 kilometres north-east of Thiruvananthapuram city. As a municipality, it is part of Kerala's system of urban local self-government and is responsible for civic services such as sanitation, local roads, public health, and licensing within its jurisdiction. The town is also an important commercial centre for hill produce and vegetables. According to the Malayalam Wikipedia entry, Nedumangad is a major marketing centre for hill commodities including pepper and rubber, as well as for vegetables. This agricultural trade role gives the municipality a wider economic significance beyond its immediate civic functions. Historically, the area was associated with the Ilayidathu Swaroopam, a local ruling house that built a palace at Nedumangad for administrative convenience. That structure is known today as the Koyikkal Palace. The palace is a heritage landmark in the town and reflects the region's pre-modern administrative history. The municipality's official website is nedumangadmunicipality.in. The entity is a public-sector, state-owned local body rather than a commercial company, and it operates within the state of Kerala under the Government of Kerala.
