Corporation to set up more mini-industrial parks
KOZHIKODE: The corporation authorities have decided to set up more industrial parks to help aspiring entrepreneurs set up units.
These parks will be set up with government, semi-government and private
participation in the newly-merged grama panchayats of Elathur, Beypore and Cheruvannur-Nallalam and Nellikkode industrial estate.
The move will accelerate the growth of the city where many developmental projects like UL cyber park, government cyber park (Thondayadu), marine park (Beypore) and knowledge park (Ramanattukkara) are coming up, the corporation feels.
It will also take steps to create more such industrial estates in the land available. Plans are afoot to set up a skill development centre in the Elathur industrial estate to impart training for beneficiaries in short-term courses in stitching, embroidery and toy making.
"Setting up of mini industrial estates will enable tapping opportunities in the industrial sector," said mayor A K Premajam. The provision to set up industrial estates is included in the 12th five year plan and budget presented for the year 2012-2013.
"We have 29 plots in the Nellikkode industrial estate. Twenty five of them have already been auctioned and the rest will be auctioned soon," she said.
