Campus Industrial Parks (CIPs) scheme

The Kerala Government’s Campus Industrial Parks (CIPs) scheme is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at bridging the gap between academia and industry while fostering entrepreneurship among students. This program enables higher education institutions, such as colleges, polytechnics, and ITIs, to establish industrial parks within their campuses, facilitating the immediate production of research-based products. With financial assistance provided for essential infrastructure, the scheme empowers educational institutions to play a pivotal role in driving economic growth and addressing skill gaps by enhancing student opportunities in innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Kerala Government is extending substantial infrastructure support for the establishment of Campus Industrial Parks (CIPs) across the state.
Each selected educational institution will receive up to ₹1.5 crore (₹20 lakh per acre) for developing essential infrastructure, including roads, electricity, drainage, and laboratory facilities.
Additionally, a financial aid of ₹1.5 crore is available for setting up Standard Design Factories (SDFs) and related basic amenities.
This funding will be provided on a reimbursement basis upon the completion of infrastructure facilities, ensuring that CIPs are equipped to foster entrepreneurship and enhance industrial production effectively.
