In the last week I read a article related to the Kerala model or development which is strongly pointed a debating topic of is Kerala model sustainable or not by pulpre Balakrishnan , professor of ashoka university sionat ,and also the senior fellow of IIM Kozhikode.
He eminently observed the world renowned Kerala model of development and strongly argued it is going with inconsistent manner and it has lot of limitations.
In the last year we experienced major land slide and a flood with heavy rain. he argued that it is a result of misrepresentation of land acquisition laws and violation of environmental boundaries of Kerala.
And Kerala is the observable state of highest gender differences .He argued that , the quantity of giving education is not a parameter of development in taken in the country's development. Its about social participation. Its about inclusive receiveness of different idea's .In Kerala there is thousands of talented women still in the so called concept of kitchen with enumerous talents .Here we need to rethink about the concept of social development .
We the state having plenty of environment resources , day by day we spoiled our environment and day by day the rulers of the multi- party system failed to follow the environment laws and regulations. This reflects that's pinarayi vijayan government relaxed the rules of quarrying and mining and related frames.
Here we converts the agricultural lands in to construction sites, thereafter what’s the case of our biospheres? It may silently take a block and will attain the critical stage.
He strictly mentioned that , government should focus on the social development and improving the welfare state of peoples .That's why , it can assure standard of living of the people.
Throughout his article he silently mentioned about a fact that is the theory of political business cycle that means government policies are stucked on a certain levels and it's has no effect on the society.
By analysing all of these factors now, is Kerala model is sustainable ? Is not sustainable. ? When we achieve a sustainability on development , absolutely the model is consistent and effective in the perfect manifestation and otherwise it would become a question mark.
