Introduction TOWARDS AN APPROACH 1. The Context Kerala’s achievements in terms of some of the basic indicators of human development are well known and have been much commented upon. The life expectancy at birth of over 73 years in Kerala, well beyond what has been attained in the rest of India, compares well with Asian countries like South Korea, Malaysia and China. Importantly, however, these countries, unlike Kerala, were already on a path of economic growth. Kerala’s female-to-male ratio, at 1.058, is identical to that of Europe and North America. It is substantially higher than that for China (0.94) or for the rest of India (0.93). Further, Kerala is much ahead of other Indian States in achieving the goal of universalising elementary education. The State ranked first among major Indian States in the Human Development Index (HDI) at the three time points of 1981, 1991 and 2001 (National Human Development Report, 2001, Planning Commission, 2002), but its per capita income lagged much behind the all-India average till recently. Implied in this phenomenon is a higher rate of translation efficiency in terms of public action, and ‘giving higher priority and precedence to the development of these services (such as education and health)’ in response to organised public demand (CDS-UN 1975). Such a pattern of development, defined by success in achieving a high quality of life without much success in economic growth, 1 was raised to the status of a 'model' and the widely acclaimed CDS-UN (1975) study occupies an important place in the chain of intellectual events that culminated in a paradigm shift in development thinking. The present Report continues from 1 In his survey of international development experiences, Sen (1999:45) has mentioned “the Indian State of Kerala” together with Sri Lanka and pre-reform China as characterised by such a development experience.
