Of the other two places with the same name, one is located within [[Trivandrum city]], where an Indian military establishment is based at and the other one is where an Ayurvedic Medical College is located.

This Pangode is a village on the north east of Trivandrum district, located 45 km north-east of Trivandrum ([[Thiruvananthapuram]]) city, the capital of Southern Indian state of [[Kerala]].

Pangode [[Gram Panchayat]] falls under Vamanapuram block of Trivandrum district and is on the Karette-Palode Road. It is a border village of Kollam and Trivandrum districts. Pangode village is where the Grama Panchayat office and major government offices of the Panchayat are situated. Pangode [[Grama Panchayat]] was carved out of Kallara and [[Vamanapuram]] Grama Panchayats in 1977 by Government Order No: 883/77/LA dated 30/09/1977 with P A Rahim as its first President and Pattanikkada Shahul Hameed as first Vice President. Pangode Grama Panchayat is spread over an area of 23.31 km<sup>2</sup>, with a population of 29,039 - 13,511 males and 15,528 females.<ref>{{cite web|last=Census Commissioner|first=India 2011 Census|title=Pangode Village Population|url=https://censusindia.gov.in/pca/SearchDetails.aspx?Id=718453|publisher=Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India|accessdate=17 May 2021}}</ref> The population has declined by over 1,200 people from 30,225 in the 2001 census when the village had a female:male ratio of 1092:1000 and a [[literacy]] rate of over 90 per cent.[http://lsgkerala.in/pangodepanchayat/general-information/]<ref>{{cite web|last=Census Commissioner|first=India 2001 Census|title=List of Villages having Population greater than 5000|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Census_Data_2001/Village_Directory/Population_data/Population_5000_and_Above.aspx|publisher=Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India|accessdate=28 January 2014}}</ref>

==Economy==
Pangode is predominantly an agriculture-dependent village and most of the people have directly or indirectly been involved in agriculture for their livelihood. With the spread of rubber cultivations in the 1970s and 1980s in the eastern regions of Kerala, farmers of Pangode quickly moved over from [[Coconut]] and [[Paddy (unmilled rice)|Paddy]] cultivations to [[Rubber]], attracted by its high [[Return on Investment]]. In the 1990s, a lot of village youth traveled to the [[Middle East]] countries in search of jobs and, by now, a good number of adults from the village is working abroad and, therefore, [[remittance]] is also a good source of income. Flow of remittance has resulted in increase in the number of concrete buildings, replacing the old thatched and tiled houses.

==History==
Pangode has a history of participation in [[Indian Independence Movement]]. The [[Civil Disobedience Movement]] led by [[Mahatma Gandhi]] found its ripples in the village and a section of village farmers resorted to [[tax resistance]]. They refused to pay taxes for selling commodities at the Pangode and nearby Kallara markets in September 1939. A few local progressive thinkers and leaders led this mass movement against the [[British Raj]] and its representative who was ruling the [[Travancore]] province at the time, [[C. P. Ramaswami Iyer]]. A series of events led to a bloody incident in which a charged mob of agitated farmers attacking the Pangode police outpost and killing a policeman.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kilimanoor|first=Chandran|title=Chorappookkal viriyicha Kallara - Pangode - Freedom Struggle|year=2004|publisher=Chintha Publishers|location=Trivandrum}}</ref> In the ensued crossfire between the police and the agitators, two freedom fighters - Plankeezhil Krishna Pillai and Cheruvalam Kochu Narayanan Achary - were also killed. Soon, the police which was under the control of the Travancore Diwan [[C. P. Ramaswami Iyer]] cracked down on the movement. People involved in the [[ambush]] were arrested and later tried. First and 13th accused in the case - Kochappi Pillai and Pattalam Krishnan - were hanged till death on 17/18 December 1940 after the High Court confirmed the sentences awarded to them by the Sessions Court.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kallara|first=Pangode|title=Freedom Struggle|url=http://hindu.com/2001/10/06/stories/0406404k.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140204013613/http://hindu.com/2001/10/06/stories/0406404k.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 February 2014|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|date=2001-10-06|accessdate=25 January 2014}}</ref>
