Workshop on rebuilding Kerala

The TKM College of Engineering hosted a two-day international workshop here, in partnership with the Leeds University, UK,

on rebuilding a resilient Kerala after the floods.

The workshop, which was co-hosted by the Kerala government, focused on bringing academia, industry and government agencies together with the common interest to rebuild Kerala for a resilient future.

"Our High Commissioner Dominic Asquith and I met the chief minister of Kerala recently to express our concern for the loss of life and property during the floods and we are glad that UK-Kerala academic and research practitioners are coming together for this timely knowledge-sharing event," said UK's Deputy High Commissioner to India, Jeremy Pilmore Bedford.

 

Through the workshop, key stakeholders from both the countries jointly identified short-term, medium-term and long-term goals to deal with the challenges in rebuilding the flood affected state.
