Revenue Department measures Kerala University land near AKG Centre on High Court direction

8 October 2026

The Revenue Department is measuring Kerala University land at its Thiruvananthapuram headquarters, next to the AKG Study and Research Centre.
The survey follows the High Court's intervention on a petition by R. S. Sasikumar, a syndicate member and chairman of the Save University Campaign Committee. Onmanorama reports that the court permitted the syndicate to implement its decision to measure and demarcate the university's land.
The petition concerns land allotted in 1977 for the AKG Centre for Study and Research.
The Thiruvananthapuram Tahsildar is leading the survey, which was delayed by the clearing of undergrowth near the university compound.
Madhyamam reports that the court order requires the land to be measured and the details given by 15 October.
The Tahsildar said the survey would not cover the land on which the AKG Centre stands; that land would be surveyed only if the court later directs it.
Revenue Minister A. P. Anilkumar said the court's direction at present is only to measure and demarcate the university's land, and that any question of encroachment is for the court to decide.
