Labour museum to come up in Alappuzha

Once a bustling maritime town on the west coast and now a global houseboat tourism hub, Alappuzha will have a Labour Movement Museum showcasing the fascinating history of the world labour movement and the struggles of workers in the State. The museum, the first of its kind in the country, is being set up under the Alappuzha Heritage Tourism Project at the New Model Cooperative Society Limited. It will display documents and exhibits that shaped the labour movements across the continents and impacted Alappuzha, the cradle of the labour movement in the country in particular and the State in general. Two coir museums are also being renovated under the project.
