State-level inauguration on January 7
A much-awaited heritage-walk programme for students has begun in what is considered as the ancient port of Muziris, spread over North Paravur and Kodungalloor near the Ernakulam-Thrissur border.
“This informal way of learning is helping students see for themselves Kerala’s rich history, through monuments at Muziris, a port that faded into oblivion over 2,500 years ago following floods,” said P.M. Noushad, Managing Director of the Muziris Heritage Project. Each batch comprises 40 students, four teachers and four guides and the heritage walk is held almost on all days now.
Its State-level inauguration is slated for January 7, alongside the launch of a solar tourist boat handed over by Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL).
