Kumarakom’s Eco-friendly Convention Centre Applauded
Kozhikode-based Uralungal Labour Contract Cooperative Society (ULCCS) has been congratulated by G20 Sherpa of India Amitabh Kant for constructing in record time the eco-friendly Convention Centre at KTDC Waterscapes at Kumarakom, where the G20 Sherpa meeting was held from March 30 to April 2.
Kant, in a letter to ULCCS Chairman Remeshan Palery, has said the Convention Centre will be a permanent asset for the backwaters of Kerala and will catalyze the emergence of Kerala as a MICE destination.
Spread over 10,000 sqm and with a capacity to house 500 people, the permanent Convention Centre took less than 100 days to be built, including electrification, plumbing, air conditioning, etc. The work was challenging as the Center had to be eco-friendly and it had to be carried on the banks of a lake that was muddy and had water logging.
