Kerala is set to receive a major boost in its infrastructure with the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) approving 32 infrastructure projects worth a total of Rs 743.37 crore. These projects span several critical sectors, including healthcare, education, transport, and urban development, and will significantly enhance the state's infrastructure and quality of life.
Among the major projects approved are the construction of a new district hospital, a digital science park, and a carbon-neutral park in Wayanad. The hospital is expected to offer advanced medical services, while the digital science park will create a hub for technological innovation. Other projects include the expansion of Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram, the development of a smart city in Kochi, and efforts to address human-wildlife conflict through protective measures.
The KIIFB has already funded over 1,000 projects across Kerala, contributing to the state's comprehensive development agenda. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has lauded the role of KIIFB in driving forward the state’s development agenda and has highlighted the importance of these infrastructure projects in boosting the state’s economy and improving the lives of its residents.
