Currencyless Village
In 2016, Pulikkal was declared as one of the eight currency less villages of Kerala because of the complete acceptance of e-wallet, e-commerce and debit card based transactions. The government is giving training to the village people for using online financial transactions. The drive was especially significant in wake of the Government of India demonetization drive of 2016.
