The Kollam Biodiversity Circuit, a project announced in the 2021-22 Budget, will have three clusters spread across Kollam, Kottarakara and Thenmala in the initial phase.
The Kerala government has accorded administrative sanction for upgrading and establishing infrastructure facilities for the circuit at an estimated cost of ₹10.19 crore. The proposed circuit includes Ashtamudi, Munroe Thuruthu, Meenpidippara, Maruthumala, Jadayupara, Thenmala, and Achencoil. While the Achencoil cluster and caravan parking in the Thenmala cluster have been excluded in the initial phase, the works are expected to be completed within 18 months. The Infrastructure Development Corporation (Karnataka) Ltd., the architectural consultant for the project, has prepared the detailed project report (DPR) for the first phase of the project.
