==History==
As per the recommendations of [[Balwant Rai Mehta Committee]] and the Administrative Reforms Committee chaired by [[E. M. S. Namboodiripad]], the State Government had to enact legislation to empower the Panchayats to ensure greater public participation in social development, to shape planned development at the village level, and to implement decentralization.<ref name="hs"/> The [[Local government in Kerala|Kerala Panchayat Act, 1960]] was framed and came into force on 1 January 1962 in the state.<ref name="hs"/> Under this Act, 922 Gram Panchayats were formed covering all the rural areas of the State.<ref name="hs"/> In these panchayats elected governing bodies came into power with effect from 1 January 1964.<ref name="hs"/>

[[Kuttippuram]] was the headquarters of a [[Revenue block]] (''Firka'') in [[Tirur Taluk]].<ref name="1961_kkd">{{Cite book|title=District Census Handbook (2) - Kozhikode (1961)|last=Devassy|first=M. K.|publisher=Government of Kerala|year=1965|location=Ernakulam|url=http://lsi.gov.in:8081/jspui/bitstream/123456789/5665/1/22059_1961_KOZ.pdf}}</ref> The erstwhile ''Firka''s were reshaped into Block Panchayats and were provided with the duty for block-level administration of [[Gram panchayat]]s. Hence Kuttippuram Block Panchayat came into existence on 1 January 1962.<ref name="hs"/><ref name="ktp"/> At the time of its formation, the block was composed of seven [[Gram panchayat]]s namely [[Kuttippuram]], [[Valanchery]], [[Parudur]], [[Irimbiliyam]], [[Edayur]], [[Marakkara]], and [[Athavanad]].<ref name="ktp"/> Later on 16 June 1969, Parudur village was transferred to [[Palakkad district]],<ref name="c1971">{{Cite book|title=District Census Handbook - Malappuram (Part-C) - 1971|last=K.

Other jurisdictional change that occurred in 2015 was the addition of [[Kalpakanchery]] Gram Panchayat into block.<ref name="demomalapuram"/><ref name="Panchayat_Malappuram"/>
