Team of officials visits two sites in Thrikkakara municipality
A team of officials from the Kendriya Vidyalaya that visited two plots of land identified by the Thrikkakara municipality as possible locations for the proposed Kendriya Vidyalaya, found that the plot at Thuthiyoor was not suited for the institution. However, the team will consider the land at Thengode. Chairman of the standing committee for education in the Thrikkakara municipality Noushad Pallechi said that further action would be taken after the Kendriya Vidyalaya team submits its report.
The Thuthiyoor land had two deficiencies. First of all, a Kendriya Vidyalaya campus requires at least five or even up to six acres. The Thuthiyoor plot had an extent of four acres. Besides, the river that runs about 200 metres away from the potential site is an impediment because the requirement is that there should be no rivers within 500 metres of the border of the campus.
Officials from the Revenue Department and representatives of the Thrikkakara municipal council accompanied the Kendriya Vidyalaya team on its visit to the two sites.
