Sali...virtual class room is a very good concept.
1.) IIMK is offering this at price of 5L
2.) In the Planned regional centre the course fees are very less..so when it comes to affordability, investment of 20 or 25 cr for a permanent building may be a good option.

Also in my understanding civil service academy is running this course as a very strict residential program..so I doubt whether virtual class room concept will be applicable for this case

Kozhikode: A tool room-cum-training centre of Kerala Small Industries Development Corporation Ltd. (SIDCO) that is to be inaugurated by Industries Minister Elamaram Karim at Parapparakunnu, Olavanna, on Sunday is among the 10 public sector companies promised by the Left Democratic Front (LDF).

The factory is seen as a major step forward towards industrialisation of the backward North Kerala region. The Rs.12.5-crore unit is equipped with modern machinery that can manufacture precision equipment such as gauges, cutting tools, fixtures, plastic moulds, forging dyes, and pressure castings needed by defence and aerospace departments, Railways and small and medium industrial units.

The entire project cost has been provided by the State government in the form of share capital.

The unit will also have facilities to impart training to graduates and diploma holders in mechanical engineering in designing mould dyes, press tools, and fixtures and strengthen the State's skilled manpower to manufacture quality products.

It is really good that a premier academy is coming up in Calicut.

But I am also a little sceptical, for a Civil service Academy needs specialist-faculty. It is not easy for anyone (including the Govt. of Kerala)to find out people of that calibre in Calicut. By 'SPECIALIST FACULTY' I dont mean Retd IAS people.

OK...Lets hope those who have decided to run the academy will bring in such people from outside.

Obviously! There is no rule, they should hire only from Calicut.

Their website claims to have V-CON meetings with specialist faculty, from all over India in TVM location . And its true retd.IAS Officers are not always the best when it comes to grooming of aspirants to crack the prelims.

Kozhikode: Minister for Works, Law and Parliamentary Affairs M. Vijayakumar will lay the foundation stone for the Bicentenary Memorial Court Complex here on Sunday.

Justice Pius C. Kuriakose of the Kerala High Court, who is also the judge in charge of Kozhikode district and president of the Kerala Judicial Academy, will preside over the function.

Minister for Forest and Housing Benoy Viswom and Superintending Engineer (Department of Public works- Judicial circle, Kochi) Jolly Mathew will speak.

Addressing a news conference here on Thursday, District and Sessions Judge M.P. Ismayil, Additional District and Sessions Fast Track Court-I Judge P.D. Dharmaraj, Chief Judicial Magistrate K.P. John and A. Pradeepkumar, MLA, said the State government had sanctioned Rs.13.7 crore for constructing the court complex.

The proposed five-storey building, having 8,404 square metres, would house the seven courts, records rooms, chambers for judges, clerks' rooms, visitors rooms and have ample parking space.

At present, some of the courts such as the family court; Court of the Vigilance and Inquiry Commissioner and Special Judge; Vigilance Tribunal; and the Marad (Special Cases) Court functioned elsewhere in the city.

The complex would bring all the courts on a single campus.

The project would be completed within two years, they said.

The courts in Kozhikode had a history of 200 years. The project for setting up a bicentenary court began in 1992. A proposal for the complex was made in the 2008-2009 budget. However, the project was kept in abeyance on account of bureaucratic hurdles, Mr. Pradeepkumar said.

Boring!!

[simpliCITY]

Yeah the drawing is boring. because whoever created the image is not good with the software! same will look much better (only much)with correct effects I am sure.

[Aslesh]

It will look great in real. At least will look like a court. Our highcourt doesn't look like a court.

[simpliCITY]

High Court & Niyamasabhamandiram in TVM are the ugliest structures ever built in Kerala.

[Aslesh]

Yes 100% true.

New block built

at a cost of

Rs.24 crore

Pharmacy wing also gets new building


Kozhikode: The Golden Jubilee Block of the Institute of Maternity and Child Health (IMCH) at the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital will be thrown open to the public on Sunday. Union Minister of State for Home Mullappally Ramachandran will inaugurate the new block.

The multi-storeyed building was constructed utilising a portion of the Rs.50 crore special fund sanctioned by the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). With this, the facilities at the IMCH — which started functioning in 1971 — would get a major facelift.

Medical College Principal C. Raveendran and IMCH Superintendent T.P. Ashraf told presspersons here on Friday that the seven-storeyed building would house high-end operation theatres, central store with cold room facilities to preserve medicines and surgical equipment, post-operative intensive care units with 60-bed capacity, leukaemia ward, paediatric specialty ward, administrative block and classrooms for training programmes.

“With the completion of the remaining works on the fourth and fifth floor, facilities such as fertility clinic, centralised intensive care unit, auditoriums for continuing medical education programmes, pay wards and quarters for resident doctors would also be set up in the Golden Jubilee Block,” they added.

The first floor of the building will house a theatre complex with nine high-end operation theatres. Three more theatres will be added to the complex during the second phase of development activities.

According to Dr. Raveendran and Dr. Ashraf, the government had spent Rs.24 crore on completing the Golden Jubilee Block. More hi-tech medical equipment would be purchased for the development of existing amenities at the institute, they said.

The new building of the College of Pharmaceutical Sciences will also be opened at the Medical College on Sunday. The construction of the building was completed at a cost of Rs.1.60 crore.

The pharmacy course was started in Kozhikode Medical College in 1967 with an intake of 50 students for the D.Pharm course. The course conducted by the Department of Pharmacology was shifted to a separate building in 1997, besides introducing new degree and postgraduate. courses in pharmacology in the following years. All these courses were conducted in a building which was originally constructed to accommodate diploma students. Sanction was given for the construction of a new building following requests of the Pharmacology Department pointing out the space constraints.
