Q: Can I get an overview of the region of Kaloor in Kochi? I am planning to move to Kaloor for my work-related reasons and I want to know about it. Please elaborate as much as possible.
Hey, the area has many schools here. Some of the reputed schools in this area are ACS English Medium Higher Secondary School, Model Technical Higher Secondary School, International Business School, St. Augustine's High School, Ariston School of Business Studies, etc.
Kaloor is one of the happening localities in Kochi. There has been many developments in this area. One that specifically comes to mind is the ITeS sector that is coming up in the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium area in Kaloor. It is being converted into a technology cum business hub.
Also the entire metro worksite was flooded because of a burst pipeline and no works could be taken up for 1 or 2 days. Water had to be pumped out with large pipes and then only could the work resume. Better planning and enforcement of civic facilities will help avoid such situations in the future!
Also the metro authorities were alerted about the drain issue after the dumping of slurry into open drains. this clogged up the drains and there was stagnating drain water all over the area. I also heard about another problem in kaloor that happened more recently, which stopped the metro works
Lots of civic issues in Kaloor though. First and foremost the slaughterhouse in Kaloor needs to be remodelled as the blood from here actually seeps into the drains and canals and enters the water level. Blood treatment is highly need of the hour in these unhygienic situations
The main places in Kaloor are Mathrubhumi, PVS Memorial Hospital, New Indian Express Building, Seventh day Adventist higher secondary school, Kaloor private bus stand, IGNOU, Cochin Stock Exchange, LIC, Sri Gokulam convention center, Kaloor market, Mini Muthoottu Tech Towers, Reserve Bank of India, Cherathrikovil temple auditorium, and more. There are various temples, churches, and mosques around, like Sri Pavakulam Temple, Anandha Chandrodayam temple, St Jude’s church, St Antony’s Shrine, and Kaloor Muslim Jama’at.
Kaloor is an important region in Kochi. There is a famous residential project called Greencity Orchid, which has 2, 3, and 4 BHK houses. The township is also endowed with good amenities like jogging track, indoor games, rain water harvesting, intercom, security, 24 hours power backup, rain water harvesting, and more. But these apartments are in the costly side as a 3 BHK will cost you around 1 crore rupees.
Hey, Kaloor is one of the residential regions in the city of Kochi in Kerala. The name is also used for a major intersection in this region of the city. It intersects two of the major arteries of Kochi downtown, which are Banerji Road and K K Road. Kaloor is known especially for its largest stadium by the name Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. It is also the home for the Regional Center of the Indira Gandhi National Open University, also known as IGNOU.
