Palakkad Projects and cityscapes

[Aslesh]

The problem is that town planner plans every thing on scientific basis but our govts do every thing in political basis.

Public Works Minister V.K. Ebrahim Kutty has said that a new bridge will be built across the Bharathapuzha in Pattambi to decommission the old bridge.

Addressing a meeting to review the works of the Public Works Department (PWD) in the district at his office in the Assembly Complex in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday, the Minister said the works given administrative sanction would be executed in a time-bound manner. MLAs and officials from Palakkad attended the meeting.

An official press release here on Tuesday said the meeting had decided to construct new blocks for Sree Neelakanta Government Sanskrit College and the PWD rest house in Pattambi.

In the Alathur Assembly constituency, work on the Mudappallur-Mangalam dam and the Alathur bazaar road would be started soon. In Ottappalam, a women and child hospital would be constructed. In the Nelliampathy hills, a new bridge would be built to decommission the Nurani bridge.

The release said reconstruction of the 100-foot road from Government Victoria College to the Malampuzha tourism centre would be completed in three months. The possibility of a bypass road in Mannarkkad would be examined.

Work on the Chalissery-Vaniyamkulam road in the Thrithala constituency would be completed by December.

The release quoted the Minister as saying that the PWD rest houses in the district would be run efficiently to provide accommodation to government officials and the common people at a low rent.

K. Achuthan, M. Chandran, C.P. Mohammed, M. Hamsa, K.S. Saleekha, V. Chenthamarakshan, K.V. Vijayadas, V.T. Balaram, Shafi Parambil, and N. Shamsudeen were the MLAs who attended the meeting. District panchayat vice-president Subida Isahaq and top officials of the department participated.

The State Government has entered into a pact with the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) to harness the unexplored wind energy potential of the state. According to the memorandum of understanding signed between NTPC officials and state Power Department officials here on Monday in the presence of Union Minister of State for Power K C Venugopal and Power Minister Aryadan Mohammed, the NTPC has agreed to generate 200 MW of wind energy from the state. ''The NTPC will begin producing 200 MW in the next one year provided the land is handed over at the earliest. We have also requested the NTPC to find more projects by which nonconventional energy resources can be harnessed,'' said K C Venugopal. The state has identified four locations for wind energy harnessing; Ramakkalmedu, Udumbanchola (Idukki), Attappadi and Kanjikode (Palakkad). Power Minister Aryadan Mohammed said that the land acquisition had been completed in Ramakkalmedu where more than 300 acres of land was acquired for the purpose. The estimated wind energy potential of the state is 600 MW of which only 34 MW is being produced at present. Out of the 34, only two MW is being produced in the public sector

Yes Palakkad deserves a prestigious institution like IIT as there are very less national level institutes in the district. IIT will spur the development of Palakkad along with the coach factory that is proposed.

Kottayam was about to hijack iit , just like they preyed on Medical college Kasaragod. May be we need to wait for some time more to get confirmation from the state government.

Palakkad has a couple of Engineering Research centres like ITI and Fluid Research centre already .To that recently BHEL is also added recently I guess.

Are you ?

What a stupitidty. Kottayam never tried to hijack IIT. Kottayam is getting IIIT and Kottayam tried for IIIT and not IIT. And Kottayam did not try for a new medical college also, as we already have a medical College. I think you are talking about setting up of Central Medical College in Pathanamthitta. A university can set up it's campus under it anywhere in its area of jurisduction.
So, Central medical college can be set up in Pta as the Central University in kasaragod is CU-'Kerala'.

If someone tried to hijack,it was Malabar Chamber of Commerce which asked for IIT in Calicut one year back. Okay?

Ariyatha karyangal chumma adichu vidalle.

Also, it is BEML and not BHEL which was recently established in Palakkad. (Newspaper vayikkumbo virthiyayi vayikkan padikku. Allengil IIIT yum IIT yum onnanennokke vayikkum).

Not Kottayam it went to Pathanamthitta.

[RKPV]

I think it is better join pathamthitta with Kottayam district form a bigger Kottayam dist - When considering population. And divide Malappuram into two. How is this idea

No offence sakrishna...

[sakrishna]

I've no hatred for everyone. But everyone must think, why Kottayam is always at the receiving end? Kottayam has not got any single development project worth 10+ crores in the last 2 decades.

Atleast Palakkad used to get few goodies every now and then like KINFRA wise park, Kinfra Textile park, BEML, Malampuzha tourism renovation project worth 60+ crores, now the coach factory etc. (I am not ranting, just proving with genuine facts).

[RKPV]

Why you are not complaining about the lack of private investment in kottayam? Or you just try to answer yourself why should one private entrepreneur invest in Kottayam?

Palakkad,Kochi,Kozhikode,Trivandrum,Kannur and Kollam have geographical advantages which Kottayam doesn’t have. Even before centuries, those places are comparatively more civilized and better business centres than Kottayam.

[maheshponneth]

First of all I want to Congradulate Palakkad for its remarkable achievement, it definitely needs it. It will improve its educational facilities, which was one of its lack.

To RKPV, Thrissur is also in the list which is a major business centre and group of enterprenours.

Kottayam has highest per-capita income.

I think it is not fare to compare the cities here which leads controversies.
Each city has its own importance. Please give respect to each city. All parts of kerala is equally important just like the organs of a body. The members should understand these things. Please avoid the controversies.

Initially the ILP [ Instrumentation Limited Palakkad] was designed to make it as the HQ of IL and Kota unit as the branch office. That means the units that are functioning under Kota suppose to be under Palakkad and vice versa. That is the reason why ILP has this much land allocated by GoK.

But due to some political reason Kota become HQ and Palakkad become Branch.

Whatever it may be ILP is making more profit than Kota unit.

The decision by the Union Railway Ministry, as announced by Minister for Railways Dinesh Trivedi in Thiruvananthapuram on September 19, to lay the foundation stone for the Kanjikode railway coach factory on October 22, and the sanction for an Indian Institute of Technology here will boost the development prospects of Palakkad district.

Work on an integrated textile park, sanctioned by the Union Textile Ministry, on 160 acres of land at Kanjikode, is already nearing completion. These three projects hold the potential to make the Kanjikode-Pudussery-Walayar industrial belt the second biggest industrial area in the State, after Kochi.

An extent of 431 acres of land was handed over to the Railways by the State government last year to set up the coach factory. The unit is likely to bring in investment of over Rs.5,000 crore and provide direct employment to 4,000 people. Ancillary units will be set up to supply components to the coach factory. These projects will industrialise Palakkad and make it a new investment destination, said M. Paramasivam, president, Kanjikode Industries Forum.

The State government had earlier identified 140 hectares of land for the coach factory, behind Fluid Control Research Centre and Instrumentation Ltd, at Kanjikode. The then Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan (now Leader of the Opposition representing the constituency in the Assembly) had made an on-the-spot study of the site on December 5, 2006. Later, an official team, headed by the Land Revenue Commissioner, had also visited the spot.

The government had notified over 1,200 acres of land at Pudussery village at Kanjikode for industrial use. Revenue officials said the proposed IIT could be set up on this land.

The initial proposal for the Rail coach factory had an integrated township. However, in the present scheme, it seems unlikely as it would require additional investment and more 500 acres of land. Industrial experts, however, feel there is need for an integrated township near the Kanjikode-Walayar-Pudussery industrial belt to provide housing, education, medical, and other facilities to the employees of these new institutions.

The Union Defence Ministry's decision to set up a Defence park, in collaboration with Indian Telephone Industries on its 40-hectare land near Kanjikode, and the interest evinced by by Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. to take over Instrumentation Ltd as its production unit have also raised the prospects of the development of Kanjikode industrial belt as a major investment destination, said K. Pankjakshan, former president of Kanjikode Industries Forum.

Proximity to educational institutions and the textile cities of Coimbatore and Tirupur and labour conditions in the district have made it attractive to private industries.

Proximity to airports

Palakkad also has favoured access to three airports — Coimbatore, 45 km; Nedumbassery, 120 km; and Kozhikode, 120 km.

Palakkad and Shoranur are major railway junctions.
