Infrastructure
The village was deserted from social and infrastructure developments for decaded untill the late 1980s. Electricity was a dream for the villagers for years and once they had it by end 1980s it was like a bad dream in a dozy fade night. Later on addition of new tranformers made things better.
Village roads were always empty as no motorist were willing to risk their investment on so called roads of Nadammal Poyil. It was only the loud calling bicycle ridden fish seller to use the roads. Some bold move of Panchayath representative gave the road finally the black colour and villagers were glee to listen the musical buzz of Kausar and Murali- The first bus services to Nadammal Poyil. It was a great achievement to the pedestrian villagers who struggled to reach their schools and work places. Now number of Mini buses are conducting services through the village. Old farmers remember their days on walk upto Koduvally town to catch buses to Calicut city and their bullock cart transportation of Kopra and other harvests to Pandika Shala (Whole sale markets of agri products) of Kozhikode town.
Social Life
Azad public library and reading room is an old and still existing social mingling point of Nadammal Poyil. There is a very old Mahallu Masjid and a newly bulit Sunni Masjid within the Nadammal Poyil Town. Jowhar Salafi Masjid is about half a kilometer away from the village center.

Goverment Anganvadi (Free Nursary and play school for kids) is one of the oldest institute in the village and Kamala teacher is unseperable part of the nursary. The nursary was satrted in a building donated by Late T.C. Moosakkutty Haji about 35 years back. Free lunch and community support were given from this Anganvadi. People of the village are Volley Ball lovers.
Agriculture
The major part of the village is paddy fields and farm lands. Main plantations include rice,coconut, aracunut, Banana, Pepper, Mango and vegitables. Once the rice harvest is done the paddy fields are given to school going youths and home makers to cultivate fast growing vegitables like Lady finger (Okra), drum stick, bitter melon and peas. This is to impart the culture of farming to the new generation. A part of the fields will become play grounds for young men. Most of the time agri-products are taken to far awy Kozhikode city for selling. Men with a white turban and a white lungi carrying agro tolls are still a common scene here in this village. people used to make cocunut oil at their home for own use. Dairy farming is one of the important among the agribusiness here. Even though not on large scale , most of the farmers own few number of cows and they make a small living out of this. It is a sad fact that there is no Krishi bhavan or a fertlizer dipot in the village. So many layman lead their life as farm workers ploughing, harvesting and working in the fields.
