A community skill park of the Additional Skill Acquisition Programme (ASAP) under the Higher Education department at Cheriya Kalavoor in Alappuzha is ready for opening.
The 25,000-sq-ft park was constructed on 1.5 acres of land in the possession of the Alappuzha district panchayat. The ₹16-crore facility can provide training to 600 students at a time.
Officials said the park would provide world-class skill development training in four major disciplines — IT, activity-based, heavy machinery, and precision-based. Besides, the facility would offer courses in fashion designing, coir, artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, foreign languages and so on.
The park, set up in the public-private partnership mode, is managed by a governing committee headed by District Collector Haritha V. Kumar.
