Institutions in Ramavarmapuram
Ramavarmapuram has an unusual concentration of well-known establishments all connected to Kerala Police. These include one of the largest police training centres in India, south India's only police dog training centre and the headquarters of the Kerala Armed Police I Battalion. This has its origins in the separation of the then Cochin State Police into two divisions in the early 1930s and the stationing of the head-quarters of one of the divisions in the present-day Ramavarmapuram. There are also several unique educational institutions in the area. The second oldest engineering college in Kerala, a unique dairy training centre and a separate training centre for Hindi teachers are all located here. Social support to depraved and destitute persons - women, poor old aged people, orphans - is provided through several governmental and privately run welfare homes. Ramavarmapuram has a host of such institutions. The most notable among them is Christ Villa Poor Home for the Elderly which is Kerala's first residential counseling and rehabilitation centre. An award winning blood bank complex, a Doordarshan studio and a historic central prison are some of the other notable institutions in Ramavarmapuram.
