History


Nediyiruppu was the headquarters of the Zamorin rulers of the Kingdom of Calicut (the kingdom was called Nediyiruppu Swaroopam at that time).[2]

According to some other historians, the wealth of Manavikrama royalty was kept in a treasury at Nediyiruppu and they called the place Nedi-Iruppu meaning "Got-and-placed". This treasury was located in Viruthiyil Paramba in Nediyiruppu.[2]

Nediyiruppu village is a part of the Kondotty municipality.


Demographics


As of 2011 India census, Nediyiruppu had a population of 30,462 with 14,859 males and 15,603 females.[3] In 2015, Nediyiruppu Grama Panchayath and Kondotty Grama Panchayath merged to form a new Kondotty municipality.

Most of the people of this village are farmers. Some of them also work in Persian Gulf countries. The village of Nediyiruppu becomes very lively in the evenings with crowded streets and noisy bazaars. There is a very good level of affluence in the village because of remittances from workers in the Persian Gulf region.

The biggest Harijan colony in the state of Kerala is located in Nediyiruppu village, on a hillock called Colony Road.[4]


Administration


Nediyiruppu village merged with the Kondotty municipality in 2015. It is now a part of the municipality.[1]


Health


In June 2015, the local government published a guide on health education for the use of teachers of 3rd to 10th standards. This handbook, titled Amrith, contains instructions on hygiene, infectious diseases, safe drinking water, lifestyle, diseases, chemistry in the kitchen, and healthy food.

State Highway 28 starts at Nilambur and connects to Ooty, Mysore, and Bangalore through state highways 12, 29, and 181.

Economy


The main income of the village is from remittances from Persian Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia. A large number of the locals also work in the agrarian sector. Small industries like hollow bricks, wood cutting, granite quarries, and matchbox units exist in the village. The only available petrol bunker is located at Kurupath Junction.


Culture


Nediyiruppu village has six temples, 20 mosques, and 21 Madrassas. It is a predominantly Muslim area, with Hindus in comparatively smaller numbers, so the culture of the locality is based upon Muslim traditions.[2]

People gather in mosques for evening prayer and continue to sit there after the prayers, discussing social and cultural issues. Business and family issues are also sorted out during these evening meetings. There are many libraries attached to mosques that are a rich source of Islamic studies. Some of the books are written in Arabi-Malayalam which is a version of the Malayalam language written in Arabic script.[2]

Duff Muttu, Kolkali, and Aravanamuttu are common folk arts of this locality.[2]

The Hindu minority maintains their traditions by celebrating various festivals in their temples. Hindu rituals are performed here with a regular devotion, as in other parts of Kerala.[5]


Tourist attractions



Mini Ooty Hills


Mini Ooty, or Arimbra Hills, is a small village about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Nediyiruppu. It is a 500 metres (1,600 ft) steep climb from the main road. Mini Ooty can be accessed from Musliyarangadi, Colony Road, Pookkottoor, or Vengara. The route to Mini Ooty passes other small villages, such as Melaparamba, Angadi, Thazhe Colony, Moochikundu, Poolappees and Thiruvonamoola. The roads are in good condition, and a moderately large number of visitors come to see the rolling hills and scenic views. There are many stone crushers and plantations atop the hills. There is an old Dalit colony on the western side of the hill. The hilltop colony in this village was marked officially as Neidiyiruppu on a milestone placed at the road junction. This junction is called Colony Road Junction, after the Harijan colony, Kerala's first, in this village.
