Ashwas Public Amenities Kerala Limited, a Special Purpose Vehicle set up by the government will setup, world-class public amenity centres in cities, town centres, civil stations, and along major roads across the State.<\/p>\n
Around 100 amenity centres would be set up in the first phase this financial year. APAKL has already invited Expression of Interest (EOI) to setup centres under the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) concept.<\/p>\n
Placed in strategic locations, the amenity centres will be eco-friendly and work on indigenous technology. These facilities will have a floor area of 1,000 sq.ft and half of the area will be reserved for commercial purpose to attract good investors. Well-designed comfort stations and rest rooms will have drinking water facility, round-the-clock power supply, and a 24×7 help desk to handle emergency situations. The centres will be easily accessible to women, children, elderly and disabled persons too.<\/p>\n
APAKL also have plans to include ATM, eatery, garden and curio shop depending on the locality of the centres. Even a car wash centre was being considered at certain centres. Those manning the centres will have limited right to use the commercial space and display ads.<\/p>\n
The APAKL will be the nodal agency for constructing, developing, maintaining and operating the centres. The authorised capital of the SPV is Rs.5 lakh and the government will hold at least 26% of the total paid up capital of the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
