Malaparamba
Malaparamba lies in the outskirts of Kozhikode City. It is the start of the suburban region of Kozhikode. The area spans over both sides of the Wayanad Road or National highway 766. Malaparamba lies to the north of the Malaparamba Junction, which is where National Highway 66 and National Highway 766 intersect. Kozhikode city is towards the south of the Junction. The small region is surrounded by small and micro enterprises that are owned by single individuals or family-owned businesses. There are multiple shops and varied facilities available in Malaparamba, from boutiques to electronic spare parts to marts to small restaurants. It is similar to a small township by itself. The main attraction is a 24/7 grocery store that also sells fresh juice, as it acts as a rest stop for travelers as well as the local community. The area is currently under plan for Road Renovation under the District Authority's plans. Malaparamba is primarily a residential area. There are 4 main colonies – Malaparamba Housing Colony (KSHB Colony), BSNL colony, Deshodharani Colony and Nanma Colony. Each colony, on average, houses over 100 families. The small suburban region developed mainly because it is a residential area however, since it is considerably close to the Kozhikode City further developments have not occurred.
