As many as 35 treasuries in Kerala now have state-of-the-art facility on the lines of a new-generation bank with Inkel Limited , a public-private partnership initiative, successfully completing the TIDP.

The state government launched the 'Treasury Infrastructure Development Project' (TIDP) to ensure better facilities to the people, specifically disabled and senior pensioners.

"While 30 existing treasuries have been upgraded with all facilities, we constructed five new ones. All the upgradation works were executed in working Treasuries with minimal disruption of essential services to public.

"The entire project cost was approximately Rs 15 crore and the entire project was executed without any cost overrun," Inkel Managing Director T Balakrishnan said.
 

INKEL prepared a detailed project plan and design works for the modernisation of the treasury offices following a social survey.

The facilities included accessible toilets for the disabled, lift, token facilities with parallel counters and ramps to reduce rush.

"All these treasuries are presently operating in the renovated buildings where we have maintained very high standards of construction," Balakrishnan said.
