KaricodeorKarikodu is a neighbourhood of Kollam city in India. It is about 5 km away from Kollam city centre. Karicode is the 23rd ward in Kollam Municipal Corporation council.[1] The place is very famous because of the educational institutions by TKM Group(Thangal Kunju Musaliar Group).

Importance[edit]

Karicode is one among the cashew processing hubs of Kollam.[4] It was a part of Kilikollur panchayath before. Kilikollur has the largest number of cashew processing factories in India. When Kollam Municipality was upgraded as city corporation in the year 2000, Karicode also merged with Kollam along with Kilikollur.[5][6] The congested stretch of National Highway 744 passing through Karicode makes the place a traffic black-spot in Kollam city. So many accidents happened in Karicode area because of the congested, under developed NH stretch.[7]

Kilikollur railway station is situated in Karicode. It is the first railway station from Kollam in the railway line from Kollam to Tenkasi.

Transport[edit]

This gives connectivity to Kollam Junction railway station situated at a distance of 6 km from here that connects to all the major cities of India.
