Edakkal is well-connected by road and is easily accessible from major cities in Kerala. The village has a basic healthcare facility and a primary school that provides education up to the secondary level. The local economy is supported by small-scale industries and the services provided by the village's residents. The village also has a small temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, which is a significant religious site for the local community.

Despite its small size, Edakkal plays an important role in the broader Malappuram district. It serves as a hub for local trade and commerce, with several shops and small businesses catering to the needs of the surrounding villages. The village also hosts various cultural and religious festivals throughout the year, which bring the community together and celebrate their shared heritage.

In recent years, there have been efforts to develop Edakkal further, with initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure and promoting sustainable development. These efforts are part of a broader trend in Kerala to preserve the state's rural heritage while also encouraging economic growth and modern amenities.
