Establishment of an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Neyyattinkara, a new Technopark in Parassala and the initiation of a Thiruvananthapuram Research and Innovation Cluster (T-RIC), involving research institutions in the capital district, figure among the big-ticket announcements in the vision document unveiled by National Democratic Alliance (NDA)’s candidate in Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Saturday.
The manifesto outlines projects envisaged in electronics and IT, marine, education, health, tourism and mobility sectors.
Mr. Chandrasekhar, who chose Valiyathura as the venue for the launch, promised to take up the reconstruction of the Valiyathura Pier as his first project after “swearing in as a Minister”. The structure will be redeveloped within eight months. He also offered to ensure the construction of coastal protection structures at Pozhiyoor and Poovar on a war-footing.
