Nellikutty

St. Augustine's High School and Gandhi Memorial Upper primary school are the main educational institutions in Nellikutty. It was founded in 1964 by the Parish of Nellikutty as a fulfillment of the wish of the migrant fathers. The school was managed by the parish of Nellikutty. But later, the Diocese started a Corporate Educational Agency and the school became a part of it. As of today, there is a network of government schools, corporate schools and CBSE schools in and around Nellikutty. The school ended up winning most of the prizes from different competitions. The school management has now bought a school bus, and has appointed Saju Thalamplackal as the driver, and the door checker is Googly.

With the setting up of Vimaljyothi Engineering College in Jyothinagar Chemperi (previously known as Chalimparamba) in 2002, the unemployment has increased.
