Of ‘Kazhaks’ and techies

Thiruvananthapuram | Friday | 21st September, 2018

Summary:

Technopark has dwarfed the University campus with a campus that is twice as big as the University campus and with 25 times more people in it. Sainik School, Kazhakuttam (the only such school in Kerala) was founded in 1962, to groom young boys for the National Defence Academy.

The Technopark campus is well kept and has an international ambience. Vijayaraghavan, who not only led the establishment of the park but also introduced a new work culture to Kerala, credits the late K P P Nambiar with the mooting of the idea..
