Eranad Taluk
Eranad Taluk comes under Perinthalmanna revenue division in Malappuram district of Kerala, India.[1] Its headquarters is the city of Manjeri.[1] Eranad Taluk contains two municipalities - Manjeri and Malappuram.[1] Most of the administrative offices are located in the Civil Station at Malappuram and the Mini-Civil Station at Manjeri.[1]
History
Eranad was the largest taluk in the erstwhile Malabar District in terms of area.[2] After the formation of Kerala state, it continued to be largest taluk in the state, until the formation of Nilambur Taluk in 1990s. At that time the taluk had 6 Revenue blocks in it: Malappuram, Manjeri, Kondotty, Wandoor, Vengara, and Tirurangadi.[2][3] On 1st November 1957, the Revenue blocks of Vengara, and Tirurangadi, were added to the newly formed Tirur Taluk.[3] In the 1990s a major portion of Wandoor Revenue Block was separated to form Nilambur Taluk.[4] In 2013, Kondotty Taluk was formed by taking some villages from Eranad Taluk.[5]
Now, Eranad Taluk has 23 villages.
