Kerala CM honours Dr. N.S. Srinivasan
Dr. N.S. Srinivasan, a renowned highway and traffic
expert, was recently honoured by the Kerala Chief Min-
ister, Mr. Oommen Chandy, for his valuable services
related to road and traffic projects in the State.
As Advisor to the Kerala Road Fund Board (KRFB),
Dr. Srinivasan rendered technical guidance in plan-
ning, implementation and monitoring of road
and traffic projects in the State. He was the main
architect of the comprehensive road and traffic
improvements project of international standard
carried out in Thiruvananthapuram with public
private participation (PPP). This is the first urban
road development project of this kind carried out
in the country with such participation.
Dr. Srinivasan had a key role in the scientif-
ic selection of 1100 km of priority roads (State
Highways and District Roads) and construction
of high quality roads. The rate of return of this
project has been found to be high. A separate or-
ganization (Special Purpose Vehicle) is being set
up to implement this project.
He worked out comprehensive road and traffic
improvement schemes for Kochi and Kochikode
similar to the Thiruvananthapuram project. These
schemes are now being implemented.
Action is also being taken to plan and implement such
road and traffic schemes in Kottayam, Thrissur, Malap-
puram and Kannur towns.
