}}Kollam Municipal Corporation (KMC) is the civic body that governs the City of Kollam in the Indian state of Kerala.[1][2][3] It is the fourth largest city corporation in the state by population and fifth largest by area. Constituted in 1903 and officially recognized as city corporation in 2000,[4] the body governs an area of {{convert|73.03|km2}} centered on Kollam with about 55 wards and a population of 397,419.[5]

Kollam is the 2nd most revenue generating city in Kerala. As of 2015-16 reports, Kollam has a revenue of Rs.889.74 crore, expenditure of Rs.830 crore and a surplus of Rs.59.73 crore.[6][7]

History

Kollam, known historically as Quilon, was an ancient trade hub and one of the largest port cities in Asia.[8][9] The population density of the coastal belt of Kollam is very high compared to any other city in the state. After the constitution of Kochi as a corporation in 1967, there were intense demands to upgrade the densely populated Kollam City into a city corporation. As a result, on 1{{nbsp}}October 2000, Kollam Municipality was upgraded by the Kerala Government to a Municipal Corporation.

The city population of Kollam increased substantially from 139,852 in 1991 to 346,013 in 2011. In 1991, the Vadakkevila, Sakthikulangara, Eravipuram and Kilikollur panchayats were merged with Kollam City. As a result, the area run by the municipal corporation increased from {{convert|18.48|km2}} to {{convert|58.18|km2}}.[10] Later in May 2015, Thrikkadavoor panchayath is merged with Kollam city and total population of the city became 397,419 with total area of {{convert|73.03|km2}}.[11][12]

Kollam Corporation projects under construction/ completed

Chinnakada Underpass

The Chinnakada underpass is a public road infrastructure project for the city of Kollam as part of the Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to ease traffic congestion at Chinnakada, the city CBD of Kollam.[27] The presence of an existing Railway over bridge and three close intersections with heavy traffic limits the option for traffic management measures including junction improvement. That caused the authorities to think about this underpass at Chinnakada. Chinnakada is a complex junction where roads from Thiruvananthapuram, Alappuzha, Downtown, Sengottai, Ashramam(Residency Road), Kollam Beach and the City bus stand road meets.

Preliminary design prepared by NATPAC(National Transportation Planning and Research Centre) for the underpass involved the acquisition of {{convert|0.08|hectare}} of government land on a temporary basis.[28] The height of the road passage above the underpass was increased to {{convert|5.5|m}} from {{convert|5|m}} to facilitate movement of modern container trucks through the underpass. Underpass has been thrown open to the public by the end of May 2015.[29][30]

Marine Aquarium at Kollam Beach

On 22{{nbsp}}June 2014, construction work started on a marine aquarium at Kollam Beach, which is first of its kind in the state of Kerala. The Harbour Engineering Department is constructing the aquarium on the eastern side of the beach on behalf of Kollam Corporation. The foundation stone for the project was laid in March 2014 and it is expected to be complete by December 2014. The single storey aquarium comprises 40 large tanks to hold a diverse collection of marine life and provides an added attraction for visitors to Kollam beach.[31]
