As per report of the World Gold Council, indian purchase of gold ornaments in the first quarter of 2017 accounted for more than one fifth of the world demand.

And Kerala, a small state, is number one in India. It spends about Rs. 208.55 per month in Rural areas and Rs. 189.95 in urban areas as per the report. The T.Nadu and Goa, who are in the second and third positions are spending Rs. 44.86 and Rs. 34.07. Other states are far behind.

The craze for Gold in Kerala has historical, economical and religious back ground. But does that justify this unusual craze?

The decision of the Kerala government making Malayalam, the official language, compulsory in the schools is a good decision. It gives more respect to the language, provide a chance to children to learn and understand their mother tongue and a lift for the Malayalam culture itself.

But there are two other issues, in which also, Kerala seems to be in the forefront –  craze for gold and liquor.  This craze needs to be controlled in a progressive state  like Kerala.

For the first time after many years, a Kerala Public Sector Unit,  Travancore Cochin Chemicals (TCC), has posted profit.  While the loss last year was Rs. 7.37 crore, during the LDF period the company has turned profitable and posted a profit of Rs. 5.5 crore. This is despite the increase in the wages of the workers. The production has also increased.

It is one more PSU which has become profitable after the LDF has come in to power.
