Economy and Beauty of Kerala

Economy and Beauty of Kerala

Kerala where the rain is born.

Kerala has the third largest economy in India. dominates the Kerala economy. Kerala's per capita GDP in 2016-17 was Rs.140,107. Kerala's high GDP and productivity figures with higher development figures is often dubbed the "Kerala Phenomenon" or the "Kerala Model" of development by economists, political scientists, and sociologists. This phenomenon arises mainly from Kerala's land reforms, social upliftment of entire communities implemented by various governments ruled the state. Some describe Kerala's economy as a "democratic social welfare state". Some, such as Financial Express, use the term "Money Order Economy". Kerala's economic progress is above the national average, with numerous major corporations and manufacturing plants being headquartered in Kerala.  Estimates of the 2013 Tendulkar Committee Report on poverty suggest that percentages of population below poverty line in rural and urban Kerala are 9.14% and 4.97%

Kerala, accounts for 2.8% of India’s population, but its economy contributes nearly 4% to the Indian economy. Thus, the southern state’s per capita income is 60% higher than India’s average. This has fuelled internal migration to Kerala for low-end jobs, even as Keralites have emigrated—mostly to the Gulf countries—in search of better-paying jobs .Around 19,000,000 Keralites are working abroad, mainly in Persian gulf; to where migration started with the Gulf Boom. The Kerala Economy is therefore largely dependent on trade in services and resulted remittances. In 2012, the state was the highest receiver of overall remittances of India which stood at Rs.49,965 Crore (31.2% of the State's GDP), followed by Tamil Nadu, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. S. Irudaya Rajan describes the situation as "Remittances from global capitalism are carrying the whole Kerala economy". With 11.8% of the labour force unemployed in 2015, Kerala is 11th in unemployment in India. Underemployment, low employability of youths, and a 13.5% female participation rate are chronic issues. The 'Report on Fifth Annual Employment - Unemployment Survey for 2015-16' prepared by the labour bureau of the Union ministry of labour and employment indicates that Tripura had the highest unemployment rate of 19.7% in India, followed by Sikkim (18.1%) and Kerala (12.5%).

Kerala produces 97% of national output of pepper and accounts for 85% of the area under natural  rubber in the country., Coconut tea, coffee, cashew, and spices including cardamom, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg  — comprise a critical agricultural sector. A key agricultural staple is rice, with some six hundred varieties grown in Kerala's extensive paddy fields. Nevertheless, home gardens comprise a significant portion of the agricultural sector. Related animal husbandry is also important, and is touted by proponents as a means of alleviating rural poverty and unemployment among women, the marginalised, and the landless. Feeding, milking, breeding, management, health care, and concomitant micro-enterprises all provide work for around 3.2 million of Kerala's 5.5 million households. The state government seeks to promote such activity via educational campaigns and the development of new cattle breeds such as Sunandini.

Now I am writing a day of rain in Kerala 

It was June third the starting of the school after the summer I was a bit lazy. I woke up the it was very cloudy. Then after sometime it started to rain. It started on 7AM. I got ready and went to the Van it was raining I had my umbrella. My shoe got wet because of the puddles of Water. Even it was raining it was hot and humid. The weather is always like that in our Kerala. I reached my school today we had PE but it was cancelled because of water puddles and clayey soil. I was very sad. I reached my house and still it was raining. I went for tuition I came back and had hot tea and snacks in the rain. The coconut trees shake in the wind if the monsoon. The cool breeze blows accross my hair as gentle as the fingers of a mother. The rain puddles awake the frogs under the ground. The frogs creak with cricket forming a melodious song. The monsoon rain rattles on the metal sheet of my house. Bricks and walls get covered by thick algae 

It is the beauty of the monsoon. Children are overjoyed to play in the fresh puddles of the drizzling monsoon rain. The grass turns green and lush. The grounds look like meadows. Rivers flow with fullness. The season of blooming of many flowers and the starting season of the festival of Onam. Monsoon is very long in Kerala but it also has a beauty. Kerala is the best place to enjoy rains.

Some of these information and knowledge I have applied is dedicated to my friends Rupak Ghosh and Jaanakiram.
