Alleppey district was carved out of erstwhile Kottayam and Kollam (Quilon) districts on 17 August 1957. The name of the district Alleppey was changed as ‘Alappuzha’ in 1990. In 1982, Pathanamthitta district was newly constituted taking portions from the then Alappuzha, Kollam and Idukki districts. The areas transferred from the erstwhile Alappuzha district to Pathanamthitta district are Thiruvalla taluk as a whole and part of Chengannur and Mavelikkara Taluks.

—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”

“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within.
