Campuses to micro-industrial units, Kerala govt polytechnics generate Rs 48 lakh in work orders 

The transformation is part of the ‘Industry on Campus’ (IoC) initiative of ASAP Kerala and the technical education department. Government polytechnic colleges (GPTCc) are no longer just centres of learning. They have shed their early skin and metamorphosised into micro-industrial units with facilities for manufacturing, servicing, design and development, technology transfer and consultancy services. 

The transformation is part of the ‘Industry on Campus’ (IoC) initiative of ASAP Kerala and the technical education department. The units set up in GPTCs have obtained work orders worth Rs 47,92,578 from various industries and organisations in just one year.
