==Education==
Pinarayi has had [[primary education]] for more than 150 years.

[[Kulathumkara]] village school that was established in the 1840s by [[Therela Kannan Gurikkal]] was later renamed as [[Therala]] lower primary school. However, in 1992 the Kerala state government closed the school arguing that it was uneconomic.

On 10 June 1977 a [[high school]] was inaugurated at Pinarayi in the memory of the [[communist]] leader AKG. Its campus has an area of {{convert|3.15|acre|m2}}. Later this school was upgraded to higher secondary. High school and higher secondary studies are offered mainly by the A.K.G Memorial Higher secondary school. With the exception of this high school all the other schools were established in first part of 19th century. In total there are 9 lower primary schools and 6 upper primary schools and all these are under private management. There is no technical institution in the village. A computer training facility is offered by the Pinarayi Electronics Industrial co-operative society (PELISO). Three parallel colleges are there in this Panchayat.



==Economy==
The main occupation is [[Beedi]] manufacturing in which the [[co-operative society]] Dinesh has a monopoly. Pinarayi is an industrially backward village. Modern industrial establishments are not there.

Electricity reached this village in 1958 and was inaugurated by the then Electricity Minister of Kerala [[VR Krishna Iyer]].

==Co-operative societies==
But Co-operative sector is very strong and it compensated to industrial backwardness to an extent. This village is considered to be having the highest number of Co-operative societies. Around 35 co-operative societies are there in this village. First co-operative society of this village was started in 1922. Totally there are 3 credit societies, 16 industrial co-operative societies, 6 school co-operative societies and 2 others. Peoples are the ultimate decision makers and investors in these societies. These societies are providing service in almost every aspect of life like banking, education, printing, milk and public distributions, garments manufacturing, hotels, health care, recreations, markets and stores, manufacturing, Information Technology etc. Pinarayi Service co-operative bank, Pinarayi Industrial co-operative society, Pinarayi beedi workers Industrial co-operative society (DINESH), Pinarayi women's multi Industrial co-operative society are leading co-operative societies. More than 2000 peoples are working in beedi manufacturing sector. Pole casting unit in Pinarayi Industrial co-operative society manufactures 7m, 8m and 9m pre stressed concrete poles and supplies to Kerala State Electricity Board for using in the construction of distribution lines.

==Peoples Planning Programme==
Peoples Planning Programme revolutionized the development of the Panchayat. Pinarayi grama panchayat was chosen as the best panchayat in the district. Its grama sabha meetings registered a consistently high attendance, its 121 neighborhood committees have been active, it has achieved a 100 per cent revenue and tax collection record, and its utilization of plan funds - especially those in the productive sector - has been outstanding. It has been particularly successful in the implementation of its total sanitation programme whereby 2,500 houses have been provided with private latrines. This panchayat is a busy, focused unit of administration that has its ears to the ground. In coming years it is our responsibility to prove that we are among the best in the country.
