Kerala University is mulling over a proposal to lease out land from its Karyavattom campus to establish one of the four science parks that have been proposed by the State government.
The government had earmarked ₹1,000 crore to establish a digital science park adjacent to the Digital University, Kerala and three others dedicated to science and technology in Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kannur.
With Kerala University being shortlisted as one of the collaborators for the project, the government has proposed setting up a science park on the Karyavattom campus. A delegation led by Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment executive vice president K.P. Sudheer visited the university and held talks with Vice Chancellor V.P. Mahadevan Pillai two weeks ago.
