Karunakaran, a far sighted economic reformer and institution builder
K. Karunakaran, the politician also known as 'Leader', is the best institution builder we had in Kerala. No politician supported industries and encouraged private enterprises in Kerala like he did. The wily politician is but known more for nepotism and corruption. A list of projects which would not have realized without Karunakaran are,
- Cochin International Airport Ltd [CIAL] - India's first airport under Public-Private Participation - Also the project that showed us the real potential of Non-Resident Keralites
- Kayamkulam Thermal Power Plant
- Technopark, India's first Technology (IT) park
- Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium in Kochi
- Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology
- Pariyaram Medical College
- Keltron
- Guruvayur railway line
- Self-financing educational institutions for higher education
