Geographic & Demographic Traits
Kondotty is located just 3 km from Calicut International Airport, making it a key transport hub. Much of the town is suburban with minor agricultural zones in the panchayats. Nediyiruppu, historically part of Kondotty, is a notable cultural site linked with the Zamorin( Samoothiri) dynasty. High literacy and a balanced gender ratio mirror district average.
Economic Profile & Livelihood Patterns
NRI remittances: Household incomes are strongly supported by migration to the Gulf countries, typical across Malappuram district.
Trade & small businesses: Kondotty town supports retail, timber, timber-related trade (especially around airport), logistics, transport services, and spice trading. The proximity to the airport stimulates commerce.
Service & institutional employment: Connectivity infrastructure, airport operations, schools, and public services contribute to local jobs.
Agriculture: In rural panchayats, small-scale crops such as paddy, banana, coconut, and areca nut are cultivated; less dominant than trade and remittances.
No significant blue economy exists, given its inland but well-connected terrain.
Economic Strata
The population is overwhelmingly middle-income, supported by remittances, small trade, and public services. A few families—established traders or landowners—reside in the higher-income bracket. A small segment- small farmers or labourers live below the poverty line, though literacy, NRI income, and government welfare largely mitigate economic hardship.
Recent Development Activities
Road and infrastructure upgrades: Enhanced connectivity between Kondotty, NH-213, and surrounding panchayats has improved access to Kozhikode and the airport.
Polling & school facility improvements: Many polling station buildings—schools and madrassas—were renovated to improve civic participation.
Digital and cooperative outreach: Digital literacy drives and microfinance schemes for local entrepreneurs have expanded across rural wards.
Healthcare and community centers: Nediyiruppu village health outreach, sanitation campaigns, and community hall upgrades are strengthening social infrastructure.
Kondotty Assembly Constituency merges tradition, transport-driven commerce, and remittance incomes. While mainly middle-income, it benefits from airport proximity and cultural heritage. With ongoing infrastructure upgrades, civic modernization, and cooperative-led outreach, Kondotty is charting inclusive growth aligned with its suburban-commercial vitality.
