Voyage:
The beginning of the co-operative movement in the Kerala state dates back to early 20th century. Co-operative societies came into reality among the rural areas of Kerala. This was meant to establish co operative credit societies to encourage thrift, self –help and co-operation among agriculturist, artisans and persons of limited means.
Parappanangadi co-operative bank is amid the institution that is being shaped due to the hard work and cooperative frame of mind of our ancestors focusing on the potential viability of such a financial entity. Parappanangadi co-operative bank is one of the oldest and traditional banks in Malappuram district.
During the days of British India, as a part of madras province, there formed this financial entity in Neduva village, Ernad taluk that comes under Malabar region and it was under the madras act in 02-09-1917 which was registered as “Aikya Nanya Sangham” and came into actions in 22-9-1917.
The main aim of our bank was to ensure credit service to farmers at low rate of interest. We provided loan facilities for agriculture, and helping for marketing the crops cultivated directly or indirectly from farmers as our primary service during the start up days. Later on 01-09-1937 The bank was reformed in the name as Parappanangadi Urban Co-operative Bank. This paved way for providing ration facility to the needed. Agriculture sector was the main focus of our institution and as a part of it we sponsor the Parappanad farmers club. Due to their hard work and pledge, they were honored the best performer award of NABARD.
It’s in 1964 the bank became completely a service entity as we see yet. In 2008 all the un-payable loans were discarded according to the central governments act (ADW &DRS-2008).
Among the two rural community premises that come under the bank, one is a coastal area. Hence majority of the members in this body of our bank is from fishermen.
It was in 19990 the bank attained a profitable growth in the financial sector due the rise in NRI fund during those time period. Apart from this section, we have branches in Chettippadi, Mundiyamkkavu, Paalathingal, Chiramangalam etc. We are giving 25% of profitable dividend since 2011-12 accordingly to the members.

We also have a common well being fund for schools, hospitals, public places, drinking water facilities, ill persons etc. we are thankful to our former committee members for their guidance and efforts to bring this financial institution to such heights and prestige.
