This academy will be built on the banks of Valapattanam River at Irinave, east of Azhikkal. Kannur Cantonment is one of the important cantonments in India.
==Etymology==
The name ''Kannur'' may have been derived from Kanathur, an ancient village. Another opinion holds that ''Kannur'' was originally a portmanteau derived from two Malayalam words: ''Kannan'' (Krishna), a Hindu deity, and ''Ur'' (place)—making it "the place of Lord Krishna." One support for this theory is that the deity of the Kadalayi Sriracha Temple was originally installed in a shrine at Kadalayi Kotta in the southeastern part of the present Kannur town. During the British Raj, the city was known as ''Cannanore'', the anglicised form of the Malayalam word ''Kannur''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Official Website of Kannur District )
