Peroorkada is a residential locality north of Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) in the Indian state of Kerala, on the way to Nedumangad and Ponmudi. Roads from Mannanthala, Vattiyoorkavu, Nedumangad and Ambalamukku meet at Peroorkada. Once a village, Peroorkada has seen rapid development over the last four decades with the setting up of a hospitals, shopping complexes and petrol pumps.
Amenities
Prominent institutions at Peroorkada include the Peroorkada Government Hospital, Oolanpara Mental Hospital, Peroorkada police station, the Peroorkada Market, several schools, a Law Academy and the local post office. Peroorkada's public transport needs are serviced by a comprehensive bus service. There are two stadiums, several temples, few churches and one mosque.
There are many Gulf-returnees, as well as educated Malayalis from other parts of Kerala who made the locality their home. This gives the place an urban feel, though, like in most other places of Kerala, still not cosmopolitan enough.
Many locals from the Peroorkada region, including Ambalamukku, Oolampara, NCC Nagar, Ambala nagar colony, Kudappanakunnu, Indira Nagar and Mannanthala are now successful professionals or personalities by themselves across the world.
The locality expanded since the mid-1980s, when many Gulf-returning Malayalis preferred to buy properties/ build houses in this area of Thiruvananthapuram, rather than in their original native places in central Travancore. This lead to a property boom, which was accentuated by the establishment of the Doordarshan Kendra nearby, as well as the accessibility of hospitals and well-run private schools. Good access to downtown Thiruvananthapuram - through KSRTC city buses, as well as autos helped large scale migration; making Peroorkada, the second most desirable suburb in Thiruvananthapuram, after PTP Nagar. A District Collectorate for Thiruvananthapuram is slated to come up at Kudappanakunnu, to the north of Peroorkada.
