Tourism Minister Kadakampally Surendran told the Assembly on Monday that the Kerala Bank, which amalgamates banks in the cooperative sector, would become a reality this fiscal. He said the State’s cooperative sector would venture into solid waste disposal, and start small- and medium-scale agro-industries and educational institutions.
The proposal to publicly display the antique treasures stashed away for centuries in the subterranean vaults of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple would reach a finality once the Supreme Court rules on the matter, he added.
