₹100-crore research park planned for Tamil Nadu's Perundurai

A major research park is in the works for Perundurai in Tamil Nadu, with an investment of ₹100 crore earmarked for its development. The facility, named Arivukoodam, is designed to serve as a bridge between academic institutions and the industrial sector in the region.

Among its primary objectives, the research park will provide students and faculty members with real-time exposure to industry challenges and practical applications of their academic learning. This exposure-based model aims to equip future professionals with hands-on experience and insights into the contemporary issues faced by manufacturing and technology sectors.

The project timeline indicates that Arivukoodam is expected to become operational by the end of 2027 or in early 2028. Once functional, the park is anticipated to foster innovation and collaboration between educational bodies and industrial partners in the vicinity.

The initiative reflects efforts to develop Perundurai as a hub for research and industrial advancement, potentially attracting investments and generating employment opportunities in the region. The facility is likely to strengthen the ecosystem for emerging technologies and industry-academia partnerships in Tamil Nadu.
