==Snake Bite Treatment Center==
Pappinisseri Visha Chikitsa Society (Snake Bite Treatment Center) was started in the year 1964 at Pappinisseri, Kannur, Kerala with an intention to treat the ailing especially those suffering from snake envenomation. This institution is commemorated on behalf of the Late Sri. C.P. Kumaran Vaidyar and functions as the center for advanced clinical Research and literary documentation in Agada Tantra. Ever since its inception in 1964 it had the monopoly in treating snake bite cases and more than a million snake bite cases were treated and clinically documented.

The main physician for Pappinisseri Visha Chikitsa Kendra was Dr B Prabhakaran for a long time.

Destruction of the park - 1993

This park has a long back story of destruction which owed to a political revenge. The political issues lead the party followers to vandalise and set fire to the park. Many rare species of reptiles like 2 king cobras, other birds and animals were brutally burnt to death.
