PALAKKAD: The State Government will provide houses for all those who are displaced and will formulate a rehabilitation
package for those who lose their land during land acquisition for the proposed coach factory at Kanjikode, said Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan.

He was speaking at the all-party meeting held at the collectorate conference hall here on Tuesday, to discuss the issues in acquiring land for the factory.

Achuthanandan called for cooperation from all since the State stood to benefit a lot from the coach factory. He said the Government had identified the land to rehabilitate the displaced persons.

The Government would also provide a fair value as compensation to the people who lose their land.

The Chief Minister said that the Government would also recommend to the Railways to provide jobs for the children of the families which had been displaced.

Similarly, though the Railways had identified 900 acres of land, the Government would ask it to exempt the area with lot of houses.

"The Government will see to it that the land mafia do not exploit the situation", the Chief Minister said. Among those who were present included Electricity Minister A K Balan, Revenue Minister K P Rajendran, Law Minster M Vijayakumar, who is also in-charge of Railways in the State, Deputy Speaker Jose Baby and District Collector A T James.

Initially, BJP state committee member N Sivarajan had raised objections on the acquisition of land but later consented when the Chief Minister promised a suitable rehabilitation package.

Finally, all political parties unanimously stood for setting up the coach factory and for the announcement of a suitable package for the victims. K Achuthan, MLA and district congress committee president C V Balachandran represented the Congress party. M B Rajesh MP and K K Divakaran, MLA were also present.

Coir Board plans cluster in Palakkad:

PALAKKAD: The Coir Board proposes to set up a coir cluster in Palakkad under the Centrally-assisted Scheme of Fund for Regeneration of Traditional Industries (SFURTI) at a cost of Rs one crore which can provide employment to around 1,000 people, said Coir Board chairman V S Vijayaraghavan.

Addressing mediapersons here on Friday, Vijayaraghavan said that 26 chosen coir clusters which bear a sustained employment of around 13,000 artisans had been conceived in the country.

"The total outlay for the scheme is pegged at Rs 20 crore. Of the 26 clusters, four have been allotted to the State which will be in Chirayinkeezhu, Mangadam, Vaikom and Beypore", he said.

Vijayaraghavan said that the Coir Board would seek the approval of its Director Board to set up fifth cluster in Palakkad under the SFURTI scheme so as to provide necessary support to the coir entrepreneurs in the district.

He said that the scheme, once implemented, would provide for creation of common infrastructure
facilities like dye house and manufacturing units with modern equipment.

De-fibring units

The Board also plans to set up more de-fibring units in the Northern parts of the district, especially Palakkad. He said the districts of Kozhikode, Malappuram, Kannur and Palakkad contributed to 44 percent of the total husks produced in the State.

Vijayaraghavan pointed out that the total husk production in Palakkad district accounted for 218 million nuts per annum and as of now, lions share of the husks were wasted or used as fuel. There is a potential for the establishment of 44 defibring units in the district at 60 percent utilisation of the coconut husks available in the district.

The setting up of more de-fibring units in the Northern districts of the State where coconut husks are available abundantly could mitigate the shortage of raw materials being experienced by the export oriented units at Alappuzha.

Golden jubilee celebration

The Central Coir Research Institute (CCRI) at Kalavoor, Alappuzha, is celebrating its golden jubilee year in 2009. The year 2009 has been declared by the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) as the International Year of Natural Fibres and coir being a natural fibre it is proposed to celebrate the year to coincide with the golden jubilee celebration of CCRI.

Vijayaraghavan said that as part of it, a technological exposition of coir industry by inviting representatives from all coconut-producing countries will be organised at CCRI styled 'Coir summit 2009'.

"It is expected that all member countries of Asia Pacific Coconut Community will participate in the celebrations", he said.

Revival of de-fibring units

Vijayaraghavan said that currently 56 de-fibring units established under the Integrated Coir Development Programme by the Government of Kerala were defunct due to a variety of reasons mostly due to outdated machinery.

The Board has taken up the revival of two units in Palakkad district.

The unit at Thenari was being revived at a cost of Rs 20 lakh which could be replicated by the State Government using its own resources in other parts of the State.
