Puthuppally is one of the few major centers and towns in the Kottayam district of Kerala, India as many areas can be reached only via Puthuppally. The community is known for its ancient Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, Puthuppally Palli. The town is growing further owing to the increasing number of major roads connecting it to other major towns in the region.
The town hosts the campus of Rubber Board, the biggest central government organization in the district. The town is also home to the Institute of Human Resources Development campus[1] as well as MG University paramedical campuses.
