There is also a Tehsil/Taluk called Kattakada. It comprises 14 revenue villages and 12 Panchayats that surround the town. This taluk was formed in February 2014.[2]

The place name Kattakkada is derived from the Kattaal Devi Temple situated in the town. The word Kattaal in Malayalam translates to Wild Banyan Tree.[citation needed]
