'''Kizhuparamba''' or '''Keezhuparamba''' is a village and [[Panchayath]] on the northern boundary of [[Malappuram]] District In [[Kerala]] State of [[India]].

Kizhuparamba is situated on the banks of the [[Chaliyar]] river and in the border of Malappuram and Kozhikode districts. Kizhuparamba is one of the smallest Panchayaths in [[Malappuram district]]. Kizhuparamba Panchayat was formed on 1 August 1977 from the former Urngattiri Panchayat. It has geographical area of 14.99 km2, which is 0.42 percent of the total area of the Malappuram District. Kerala State Highway (SH) 34 (Koyilandy-Edavanna) passes through Kizhuparamba Village

==Coordinates==

It is located at the end of Malapuram district. Three parts are surrounded by the river [[Chaliyar]], which makes it a [[peninsula]]. As the land if fertile, most of the peoples are farmers. Total population is around 20,000. Muslim religion constitutes the majority religion, with over 90% of the population reporting as Muslims.

==Etymology==
The name Kizhuparamba is derived from Keezhparamba which means '''"Low land"''' in [[Malayalam]] language. '''"Keezh"''' means "low" and '''"Paramba"''' means "land" .The name is believed to be attributed to the peculiar low geography of majority areas of the village (situated in the valley of many small hills like Thadapparamba, Pazhamparamba and Melapparamba). Some of the areas in the village lies below the monsoon water level of [[Chaliyar]] river and gets submerged under river water during [[monsoon]] months.
Another place in Kizhuparamba village is Kuniyil which also has a similar meaning.

It is believed that [[Tippu Sultan]] (1782–1799)'s army has used Kizhuparamba in their route from Feroke to Mysore. There was a very old route from Perunkadavu (Kuniyil)-Thrikkalayur-Kodityathur-Thamarassery-Mysore. Many brave natives of Kizhuparamba had participated in [[Indian independence movement]] (the prominent people being P.P Sankaran Master). Kizhuparamba was one of the main centres of the Khilafat movement in 1920s [http://www.indhistory.com/khilafat-movement.html].

==Cultural and Educational Movements==

In the early years of the twentieth century, Muslim movements have contributed to the educational and cultural upbringing of the panchayath. "Vayanasala Prasthanam" (Local Libraries Movement) was deep rooted in Thrikkalayur, Kuniyil, Kizhuparamba and Pathanapuram and developed the political and cultural awareness of the society. The first educational institution in the panchayath was established at Kallingal in 1910 as a primary school.
