Kochi ranks fourth in youth employability, overtakes Delhi and Hyderabad: Report

KOCHI: Kochi has pulled off a stunning leap in Indias talent map outpacing metro giants Delhi and Hyderabad with a whopping 76.56% employability score, according to the India Skill Report 2026. The report by Education Testing Device (ETS), a global education and talent solutions firm, prepared along with All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), said the coastal city, long known for its culture and cosmopolitan buzz, is now stamping its authority as one of the countrys fastest-rising skill and opportunity hubs. As Global Capability Centres (GCCs) now employing over 2 million professionals and generating USD 46 billion in annual exports spread their wings, the ripple effects are energising Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Kochi, Coimbatore, Indore once considered secondary markets are fast becoming the new engines of global delivery, it said. As far as the youth employability is concerned, Kerala scored 72.16%, above Delhi at 71.25%. Kerala stood fourth in the rankings; Uttar Pradesh topped the list with 78.64%, followed by Maharashtra (75.42%), Karnataka (73.85%). Keralas Higher Education Minister R Bindu believes this rise is no accident. The steps taken for skill development in our higher education institutions are paying off, she told TNIE . Our new four-year UG programme ensures students pick up real, industry-ready skills while they study. According to the report, Lucknow leads the top-performing cities with a 79.45% score, followed by Pune (78.92%), Bengaluru (77.84%), Kochi (76.56%), and Chandigarh (75.12%). Among the tier-2 cities, Lucknow and Kochi are emergingas strong talent hubs, it said. The report also highlighted the pivotal contribution of the Additional Skill Acquisition Programme (ASAP Kerala) in strengthening Keralas employability profile. ASAP Keralas market-aligned training programmes, supported by structured internships, have significantly boosted youth employability across high-demand sectors, it said. Industry experts echo optimism Kochi is perfectly positioned a big city with a dense web of educational institutions, a booming startup culture, and a strong IT presence, says Sreekumar V, secretary of GTech, a Thiruvananthapuram-based association of IT companies. He pointed to the explosive growth of MuLearn, GTECHs flagship skilling initiative. This year alone, 67,000 students joined MuLearn. Companies now recognise that these students bring raw potential that can be shaped through focused, in-house training. The momentum is unmistakable. Nearly 30% of BFSI hiring in Tier-2 cities is now happening in places like Kochi a trend mirrored in IT and pharma-healthcare as well. Backing this up, a recent Nasscom report on GCCs crowned Kochi the No. 1 Tier-2 hotspot for global centres, highlighting its 8,000+ GCC workforce, robust talent supply, and deepening academia-industry linkages. From once playing catch-up to now setting the pace, Kochi isnt just rising its rewriting the rules of Indias talent race.

Forest dept completes carrying capacity studies in 34 eco-tourism centres in Kerala

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In a positive step towards regulating tourist inflow and protecting fragile forest ecosystems, the forest department has completed the carrying capacity studies in 34 major eco-tourism destinations in the state. The study aims to ensure that visitor numbers remain within permissible limits while enhancing the overall tourist experience. The carrying capacity study was launched following a High Court order after the devastating landslides that claimed hundreds of lives in Wayanad. A senior official of the forest department told TNIE that the department had launched carrying capacity studies in all national parks and wildlife sanctuaries well in advance. We expanded and expedited the study to all other eco-tourism destinations following the HC order. The study findings will be implemented to regulate visitor flow, enhance infrastructure, and improve visitor experience, said the official. According to the officials, the carrying capacity studies serve as a vital management tool for field officers, enabling them to determine the optimum number of visitors that each eco-tourism centre can accommodate without disturbing the ecological balance. The studies assess physical, real, and effective carrying capacities based on parameters such as available infrastructure, staffing levels, road length, and amenities like restrooms, cafeterias, and accommodation units. The official said that the tourist flow is generally within the prescribed limits, except during peak seasons such as Onam and summer vacations. During such times, additional staff and facilities will be deployed to manage the crowds, said the official. The department, which began the initiative through the Kerala State Productivity Council and other expert agencies such as the Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding (IFGTB), Coimbatore, has covered all tiger reserves, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and prominent forest destinations under its jurisdiction. In 2025, the department undertook studies in 14 centres through the Kerala State Productivity Council, while 20 earlier studies were conducted by IFGTB and other agencies. Another 16 eco-tourism destinations - including Manalar Kumbavaratty (Achankovil), Kodukuthupara (Punalur), Adavi (Konni), Chellarkoil and Vagamon Pine Valley (Kottayam), and Thommankuthu (Kothamangalam) - are scheduled for completion in the coming months, the official added. The department also plans to provide regular training to members of Vana Samrakshana Samithis (VSS) and Eco-Development Committees (EDC) who manage the centres. The studies will be repeated periodically to reassess capacities in line with changes in infrastructure and environmental conditions in all eco-tourism destinations, the official added. Destinations & permissible carrying capacity Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary: Churulipetty trail (82), Kottar trek (59), Chinnar riverside trek (24), Vasyappara trail (33), Thoovanam trek (7), cultural heritage trek (89) Eravikulam National Park : Rajamala eco-tourism zone (1,395), Lakkom waterfalls (648) Periyar Tiger Reserve: Green walk (50) Thekkady and Vallakadavu : Jungle scout (50), nature wall (62), border hiking (42), bamboo rafting (42), tiger trail (12), pug mark trail (93), boat cruise (650) Banasuramala-Meenmutty : Trekking/waterfall (1,110), Chembra Peak (240), Kuruva (1,150), Soochippara (1,200) Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary : Safari/boating (250 vehicles) Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary : Trek drive (86 vehicles per day) Kallar: Site seeing and trekking (4,455) Ponmudi: Site seeing and trekking (9,566) Gavi: Vehicle safari (39 vehicles per day), Sabarimala view point trekking (5,492)

Chief Minister M K Stalin was giving the impression that the Special Intensive Revision was new and a conspiracy by the BJP government. But SIR was conducted ten times before 2000 and thrice after 2000, she said.

Palakkad man weaves a new trend for looming election season in Kerala

PALAKKAD: Its all about making a political style statement! Every election in Kerala comes with its own share of colour, creativity, and conversation. From catchy slogans to quirky campaigns, the states political theatre has always had room for idiosyncracies. And with this seasons poll fever catching on, a 40-year-old handloom entrepreneur from Palakkad has pieced together a stitch for democracy. Meet Gireesh Ayyathodi, a resident of Marayamangalam, whose latest creation handloom mundu (traditional Kerala dhoti) bordered with the emblems of political parties has taken both the online and offline worlds by storm. What began as a playful experiment has turned into a viral sensation, with his videos garnering over 1.4 million views across Facebook and Instagram over just a couple of days and orders pouring in from across the country. I never imagined it would become such a hit, says Gireesh, his voice still carrying the excitement of unexpected success. There are people who wear dhotis with borders featuring religious deities. I thought why not bring politics into it this time? Elections are like festivals here, and I wanted to weave that spirit into our attire. Gireeshs journey from a Gulf expatriate in Kuwait to a trend-setting handloom innovator is the kind of story that resonates deeply on Keralas socio-economic fabric. Having returned home during the pandemic with no job in hand, he opened a small handloom shop near his home a venture powered by family support, local goodwill, and quiet determination. The business did not extinguish the dairy farmer in Gireesh, a reminder that resilience often finds its roots in rural enterprise. The idea for the mundu hit as the state set the stage of the upcoming election season. The first batch, featuring CPM, Congress, BJP, and IUML emblems, flew off the shelves within days. Now, people are calling from different parts of the country. I have received orders from CPI supporters and even a few independent candidates. These are single mundu priced at Rs 200 apiece. I sell my normal single mundu for Rs 150. The printing is done at a unit in Coimbatore, ensuring that each piece maintains both the quality of traditional handloom and modern flair, Gireesh added. As political fervour gathers momentum, Gireeshs creation has already turned into a fashionable form of political expression a fusion of identity, ideology, and style. In a state that takes both its politics and its aesthetics seriously, his colourful pieces of mundu have become much more than mere clothing.

AIADMK moves Supreme Court in support of SIR of Tamil Nadu electoral rolls

NEW DELHI: A day before the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a plea of the DMK challenging the decision of the Election Commission (EC) to conduct the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Tamil Nadu, the AIADMK has filed a plea in the apex court supporting the exercise, which was confirmed by AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Monday while speaking to the media in Coimbatore. The AIADMK has petitioned the top court seeking to be impleaded in the DMKs plea challenging the SIR in TN, said Palaniswami. In the petition, the AIADMK termed the SIR as a legitimate, valid and necessary exercise to uphold the sanctity of elections and prevent voter fraud. This is to ensure the rule of law is upheld in the electoral process, it stated. Meanwhile, the CPI(M) too has moved the apex court against the SIR in TN. A two-judge bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi is likely to hear the petitions on Tuesday. Notably, the AIADMK is the first political party to approach the top court in support of the SIR. The AIADMK in its petition submitted that TN has 234 assembly constituencies, each of which reportedly has thousands of duplicate or ineligible entries in the voters list. The AIADMK stated that as one of the two major political parties in TN, it would be at the receiving end if the revision is not conducted properly in its true letter and spirit since the continuance of inaccurate, inflated, or manipulated electoral rolls disproportionately affects electoral outcomes and undermines the level playing field essential to democratic elections. The AIADMK plea further stated that the failure to conduct the SIR would distort the representative mandate of the electorate, alleging that thousands of ineligible or duplicate entries continue to exist on electoral rolls. It stated that such defects also result in the exclusion of genuine voters, thereby violating the constitutional principle of electoral equality. CPM approaches top court The CPI(M) petition, filed by party state secretary P Shanmugam, sought quashing of the ECIs order (October 27, 2025), which mandated completion of the SIR exercise within a month. The EC move is arbitrary, illegal, and unconstitutional, the petition alleged. In Coimbatore, Palaniswami also told reporters that they have moved the SC to convey the truth to the people of TN to implement SIR as the DMK leaders would purposefully register false information in the court. Why is the DMK government scared of implementing SIR in TN, and the DMK is purposefully creating confusion, as if voters rights will be lost if SIR is implemented. It is condemnable. SIR was conducted eight times in the state, but DMK leader M K Stalin was not scared at that time. The reason why Stalin fears SIR is that the party cant register fake votes due to various reasons, including voters who have already died, and thats why he repeatedly spreads false information about it, said EPS.

Laptop and mobile phone among 39 items prohibited in KSRTC courier service

KOCHI: As many as 39 items, including common electronic items like mobile phone and laptop, have been included in the list of prohibited items in the KSRTC courier service after the corporation recently entrusted the operations to an Andhra Pradesh-based company. Though consumers argue that there is no logic in prohibiting such items, KSRTC has said that the changes are part of heightened safety measures and an effort to prevent fraudulent practices. The changes are being incorporated as part of a new software being introduced to manage courier operations, based on the requirements put forth by the company, a senior KSRTC official said. Singhu Solutions is also running the courier service of APSRTC, which enjoys an annual turnover of Rs 200 crore from the service. Launched in mid-2023, the KSRTC courier operations were fully managed by the state entity until a couple of months ago. The venture turned highly profitable as the corporation promised delivery anywhere in Kerala within 16 hours. There was no restriction on couriering items, though the management stopped accepting perishable goods like fish and vegetables after some time. While we agree with the inclusion of many of the prohibited, theres little logic in avoiding laptops and mobile phones. Many, especially those working in IT hubs like Infopark, depended on the fast service to retrieve such items that are at times left behind, rued Raghunandan R, a techie working at Infopark and a native of Thodupuzha. Unlike in the past, the new software now mandates that customers provide details like the items value and sign documents at the counter. Recipients must also produce proper identity cards, with an additional option for staff to photograph them to prevent fraud. The official noted that the ban on mobile phones was specifically included after it came to their attention that the service was being used to ship imported items, such as iPhones from Dubai, to evade GST. If formal complaints are received regarding the ban on items like laptops, the corporation would pursue the matter with the AP-based company, he said. KSRTC eyeing rise in revenue Meanwhile, sources indicated that the revenue from the courier service has witnessed a fall since the handover, but KSRTC authorities remain confident in a rebound within three to six months. They attribute the initial decline to the companys inexperience in the region. The corporation is eyeing a three-fold increase in revenue overall from the parcel and courier venture by entrusting the operations to the private party. Currently, the service generates an average monthly revenue of I50 lakh, with the Vyttila Mobility Hub counter being the top performer at I30 lakh per month. The corporation pays a commission of 19.85% to Singhu Solutions, which remits the entire revenue to the former. We previously spent 35 to 40% of the revenue on expenses, including staff salaries. Now, the new company will be responsible for meeting all those expenses. To ensure accountability, the contractor faces penalties of I50 for misdirected parcels and I500 plus the items shipment value for damaged or missing parcels, the official said. As part of its plan to increase efficiency and revenue, Singhu Solutions aims to introduce pick-up and door-delivery services, a long-standing customer demand. Initially, they plan to make deliveries within a 10-km radius of the collection centres. The KSRTC, which currently has 46 dedicated parcel counters in the state and an outstation centre in Coimbatore, also has plans to expand the service by starting courier counters in Karnataka.
