Narikkuni Grama Panchayat is situated in Chelannur Block of Kozhikode Taluk in Kozhikode District. The Grama Panchayat, which falls within the jurisdiction of Narikkuni Village, has an area of 17.75 square kilometres.
The boundaries of the Panchayat are as follows: Unnikulam Panchayat to the north; Madavoor and Kizhakkoth Panchayats to the east; Madavoor Panchayat to the south; and Madavoor and Kakkur Panchayats to the west.
The Narikkuni Panchayat Board was established on 1 January 1964. C. P. Avaran Master was its first President. As the elections were postponed indefinitely, his tenure continued for as long as 16 years.
In 1956, the three amsoms (traditional administrative divisions) of Parannur, Nediyanad, and Pannikkottur in Kozhikode Taluk were merged to form Narikkuni Village. This village later developed into the present-day Narikkuni Grama Panchayat.
The region was once predominantly covered by hills, forests, and wildlife, with only a limited area under cultivation. The Panchayat has a diverse terrain consisting of hilltops, slopes, and plains interspersed throughout the area.
The major types of soil found in the Panchayat include red soil, gravelly soil, sandy soil, clayey soil, rocky soil, and laterite soil.
