Pampadi, a small village in Kottayam district of Kerala, has been celebrating May Day like a festival for more than three decades now.  In a unique manner, the whole village comes to the streets, either as a participant or as a viewer.   May Day observance is really like a `Gramotsav’ for Pampadi. History of working class struggles, and other major events relating to  the May Day are depicted in various ways during the observance.

CITU national president K Hemalata inaugurated the rally and addressed the public meeting at Pampadi. CITU working committee member V N Vasavan and Advocate, Raji Zakaria also spoke on the occasion.
