The academic wing is the heart of KILE, driving our core activities. Our well-established research wing tackles both short-term and long-term projects on labor and related subjects. A team of technical experts provides guidance and evaluation at every research stage, ensuring the highest quality and the development of viable solutions.

KILE's commitment extends beyond research. The KILE Civil Service Academy is a pioneering initiative designed to cultivate a new generation of professional, dynamic, and efficient civil servants. This academy prioritizes dependents of Kerala's laborers, offering them concessional fees for admission. While the primary focus is on these beneficiaries, remaining seats are open to the public.

Training and capacity building
The KILE training wing empowers all parties involved in Kerala's workforce. We train laborers, their dependents, trade union leaders, employers, and government officials. Our goal is to equip them with the knowledge and skills to navigate their roles effectively, while upholding legal and social rights.

Through seminars, workshops, and conferences, we raise awareness and build capacity. Additionally, our community outreach programs foster understanding of the socio-economic conditions faced by workers across various sectors. This comprehensive approach contributes to a more harmonious and productive industrial environment within the state.

KILE prioritizes research as a cornerstone of its mission. Since its inception, we've conducted in-depth studies on labour, employment, and related topics. These studies are undertaken in collaboration with field experts and address crucial issues identified through stakeholder consultations and workshops. Additionally, KILE takes on research projects commissioned by the government.
