History
The construction academy was first proposed by the LDF ministry during 2008. They started the background works for the academy and named the project as Kerala Construction Academy, proposed at Chathannoor in Kollam district. When UDF came into power, they have shifted the project from Chathannoor to Chavara and renamed as Indian Institute of Infrastructure and Construction.[2]
Campus
The institute is being built on a 9.02 acres (36,500 m2) campus along the NH-66, near Chavara. KASE has developed a Master Plan and detailed design for the campus with 235,100 square feet (21,800 m2) of facilities including an administrative block, training block, canteen and substation. Foundation stone was laid by the Chief Minister of Kerala Mr. Oommen Chandy on 15 March 2013.[3]
Significance
Kerala state depends on migrant workers for the various jobs needed. The dependence on Migrant labourers in Keralais found mainly in the field of construction. The city of Kollam and other places like Punalur, Paravur in Kollam district, Perumbavoor, Thrissur etc are slowly becoming overwhelmed with a number of migrants from North India.[4][5][6] So an institute for developing the unskilled domestic labours as well as migrant labourers has become an essential need in Kerala. The main aim behind this institute is to train masons to upgrade their skills and get a certification from the Britain-based organisation City and Guilds.[7]
