'''Naravoor Para''', is a small village near [[Kuthuparamba]] in the [[Kannur District]] of [[Kerala]], India.<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Naravoor is derived from the [[Malayalam]] words ''Narante Ooru'' ("place of man") and ''Para'' ("rock"). Thus "Naravoor Para" literally means "the place of human in the rocks". This name may be the indication of early settlements in this region.{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}}<br />

==History==<br />

Environmental concerns and legal proceedings caused the quarries to stop their operations, and a majority of the villagers then shifted to building and construction work. Th construction boom persists in the region, due to the inflow of money from the [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|local diaspora]] in the [[Middle East]].<br />
