As of 2011[update] India census, Meenadom had a population of 12904 with 6363 males and 6541 females.[2] It is surrounded by the Puthupally and Pampady panchayats. The village is rich in tapioca and rubber cultivation. It is about 13 kilometers from Kottayam. Many very deep wells or pits which are of very small diameter can be seen in Arannil Kunnu. These pits might have been formed as a result of a meteorite shower in this area. As the meteorite fell in this area Meenadom got its name from veenadom [citation needed]
