Kerala’s taluks are further sub-divided into 1,453 revenue villages.[138] Consequent to the 73rd and 74th Amendment to the Constitution of India, the local self-government institutions are to function as the third tier of government, which constitutes 14 District Panchayats, 152 Block Panchayats, 978 Grama Panchayats, 60 Municipalities, six Corporations and one Township.[139] Mahé, a part of the Indian union territory of Puducherry,[140] though 647 kilometres (402 mi) remote from it,[141] is a coastal exclave surrounded by Kerala on all of its landward approaches.
