Kerala It’s third Information and Technology Park – Koratty Infopark, was recently inaugurated at a function in Thrissur, Kerala. The Honourable Chief Minister of Kerala, VS Achuthanandan inaugurated the Phase I of the project. Based on the 'Go Green concept, Infopark Koratty spark is being developed by Infoparks Kerala, an independent society owned by the government of Kerala, on a unique concept - the hub and spoke model, where Kochi, the digital gateway of India, acts as a hub and Koratty as the spoke. This hub and spoke structure facilitates in sharing information faster. The first Infopark in Kerala was established in 2004 in Kochi.

The Phase I of the Koratty project is spread around 40,000sq ft across seven villa/buildings. Infopark Koratty, a non SEZ development, is a breakaway from glass buildings. The colonial heritage villas have been retained and simply renovated to make it functional. The focus of the project is on promoting energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Siddhartha Bhattacharya, CEO, Infoparks added: "We have incorporated the green building concept in the design of the buildings here to blend with the existing architecture of the place and thus strive to provide a beautiful and inspiring atmosphere for a successful professional life."

The factors that make Koratty Infopark a much sought after destination for the IT/ITES companies are: the National Highway, uninterrupted power, cost-effective reliable infrastructure, single window clearance/services by Infopark and green Kerala-inspired high quality workspace. The Infopark has also access to major talent pool pockets and education and health amenities offering tremendous cost advantage that is sustainable. The park Will house a commercial complex and common utilities such as a restaurant, conference halls, a health club and so on.

When disputes between Nakarattars arose due to private misunderstanding, Nakaravitutis along with temples and Saivite monastries (matams), provided venues for extraordinary meetings of the Community to resolve disputes. These meetings Were held under the jurisdiction of a respected elder or elders in the Concerned Community and were called Panchayats - on the pan (Indian model) - although disputes were typically mediated or arbitrated by a single person. Besides Nagarathars from different places get together attemple festivities making their affiliation to the temples and the bonding to their Pangalis stronger. These Nagarathar pilgrims stay in the Viduthis by paying any minimal amount feasible to them, as Mahamai. The Viduthis hold an Undiyal (Hundi- money Collection box), in which the pilgrims deposit their Mahamais which is used for the running of the Viduthi.

The third zone is the service zone in the form of courtyard for cooking and Serving food. The toilets also are located here. Sometimes there are exclusive bhojana halls to serve food. The Central axis is how ever maintained and the planning is Symmetrical. Some Viduthis are divided into two, three or four divisions, paralleling each with their own central axis about which it is planned. These axes run parallel to each other starting at their respective entrance with well detailed main door flanked between the colonnaded thinnais on either side. The Illupakkudi Viduthi has two divisions, one for administrative functionalities and other for performing rituals.

The Vituti was directed by a board of trustees and employed a manager and staff to provide services for travelling Nakarattars. These services included, in addition to provision of lodging and meals, provision of mailing facilities, making travel arrangements, Clearing baggage at local customshouses, and arranging for absentee prayers at local temples. In short, vitutis were extremely useful in the mobile world of the Nakarattar. Vitutis were normally financed primarily by large gifts or endowments (kattalais) and operating costs were also subscribed through endowment. In addition, every guest paid what amounted to a nominal rent (called makinai, like the Nakarattar religious tithe) fixed by the manager of each Vituti and subject to revision according to need. Thus, many of the redistributive functions were performed by the endowment of temples and temple festivals were performed by the endowment of the closely associated nakaravituti. This housed a shrine dedicated to Lord Dhanday...
