Kerala 2005 - of Planning Commission

Kerala’s development experience is cited as an example for developing
countries highlighting the role of public policies in attaining high social
development despite low per capita incomes. Its experience occupies
an important place in the chain of intellectual events that culminated in
a paradigm shift in development thinking.
The Kerala Human Development Report primarily deals with the
second-generation problems of human development, such as quality.
The Report critically examines the new phase of growth during the last
15 years, and its possible linkages with human development and charts
out a human development-based growth strategy for the future with
sustainable social development.
