==Administration==
Kizhakkambalam Panchayath is ruled by an organization called [[Twenty20 Kizhakkambalam|Twenty-20]], which is sponsored by the commercial organization Kitex. In the local governing body election held in November 2015, 17 out of 19 wards of the local panchayat were won by Twenty-20.
