Smart City Project in Kochi

kba
The project was originally initiated by A K Antony in 2003 when he was the chief minister of Kerala. Later, during Oommen Chandy's chief ministerial period, he was very keen about going ahead with this project. For this purpose, he invited the Dubai Internet City officials for a feasibility study and later the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed. Due to protest from opposition parties, he could not make it a reality.

After V. S. Achuthanandan took over as the chief minister, he also showed interest in this project and invited the Dubai Internet City team for another round of discussions. He proposed new suggestions and altered the earlier MoU prepared during Oommen Chandy's time. On 13 May 2007, the officials of the Government of Kerala and TECOM Investments and Sama Dubai signed the final agreements.
