Kerala was declared as a fully literate state 29 years back.

fully literate state, Kerala

Time fly fast. This is the 30th year of the declaration of Kerala as a fully literary state, that too first in India. The declaration was made on 18th April 1991.

For more than two years, the government was implementing aggressive programmes to find out the illiterate people and educate them.The books were supplied free by state government. Teachers, students, employees and all those who could teach, took up the challenge and put their best efforts. Thousands of illiterate people, mainly old aged, were very happy that they can read books, count with out difficulty etc. The programme was fully successful. Afterwards Tripura also became a fully literate state. Com. E.K.Nayanar was the Chief Minister of Kerala at that time. Both states achieved the distinction under Left rule.

When, along with Com. Basudeb Acharya, senior M.P. and Com. R.S.Yadav, BSNLEU leader, I had the opportunity to meet Shri Akhilesh Yadav, then Chief Minister of U.P., a few years back on another issue, he enquired how Kerala achieved full literacy. In a few words, I explained the matter. He was impressed and stated that U.P. will also make efforts towards achieving the same.

books, Kerala, Schools

Kerala Left Govt is a path-making government. It has already printed and supplied text books to all the students for the next academic year staring from June 2020. In order to reduce the weight of the books to be carried by the students, the books are printed in two – three volumes for an year and the first volumes are supplied now.

Students are provided with breakfast, meals and evening snacks free in all schools by the government. Many of the govt schools are of international standard and there is a rush from the private schools to govt schools.

Hearty Congratulations to the Kerala LDF government headed by Com. Pinarayi Vijayan!

Who is Amit Shah to threaten Kerala Government ?

29 Monday Oct 2018

Amit Shah, Kerala, Sabarimala

Amit Shah, BJP President, in his speech at Kannur on 27th instant has threatened that the Kerala government will be dismissed if it implements the Supreme Court order on Women’s (those who are above 10 and below 50 years) entry in to Sabarimala. He threatened the courts also stating that they should deliver only judgments which can be implemented.

These utterances are completely a challenge to the freedoms of the courts as also to the democratically elected state government. In the name of devotees, RSS and Sangh Parivar have been indulging in stone throwing, obstruction, attacking people as also attacking the government employees and police who are on duty there. Thousands of goonda elements have been brought to the Sabarimala Shrine premises to create trouble. Now the top leader of BJP has justified all these and is threatening the government, if it takes action against the culprits who destroyed KSRTC buses, other vehicles, attacked the houses of many women who came to visit the temple etc. This is strongly condemned. He has no right to threaten the Kerala government with dismissal.

The leaders of all political parties including Congress and BJP welcomed the Supreme Court  decision on the admission of women in the temple. RSS top leaders also supported. The court order was hailed as historic, restoring the right of the women to worship in the temple, thus restoring the same, which was which was in vogue till 1991 and was stopped as per a High Court order. The then Left Front Government implemented that order and now when the SC cancelled the High Court order, it is also being implemented. THE BJP-RSS-Sangh Parivar which hailed the judgment, are now trying to destabilize the government for implementation of the order of the 5 Constitutional Bench  of the SC. Except a few devotees, who are being misguided, the society as a whole is in support of implementation of the SC decision.

BJP and its president Amit Shah are attacking the highly praised social, secular fabric of the country. This is most condemnable. The people of Kerala will resist and defeat this attack. Seek support of all right minded people.

Attacks on CPI(M) workers collecting Flood relief Fund for Kerala.

Kerala, relief collection, Tripura

The BJP in Tripura is showing their anti-human attitude by attacking and preventing the CPI(M) workers from collecting relief fund for Kerala. The statement of the CPI(M) PB in this connection is given below:

“The Tripura State Committee of the CPI(M) has been collecting funds from the people for relief work in flood-affected Kerala. There has been a good response from the public.

However, on August 27, in three places – Maharajganj Bazar, Agartala, Khowai Town and Belonia Town – BJP workers physically stopped CPI(M) leaders and activists from collecting funds. Senior leaders of the Party and elected representatives like Badal Chowdhury, MLA, Sudhan Das, MLA, Basudeb Majumder, former MLA were among those who have prevented by BJP men in the presence of the police. In Khowai Town, the collection team led by Padma Debbarma, Secretary and Nirmal Biswas, MLA were not only stopped from collecting funds but also physically assaulted.

These attacks and anti-democratic stance of the ruling party is typical of the situation that is prevailing in Tripura ever since the BJP government came into office. Even collection of money for humanitarian relief is subjected to attack.

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns these anti-democratic and anti-social activities. It demand that the state government take immediate steps to enable normal functioning by the opposition.”

Kerala, Transgenders

Just like in many other areas, Kerala has shown its priority for the transgenders also. Not only the Kochi Metro has engaged many transgenders, a transgender is appointed as part of the Lok Adalat. Riya, the transgender, acted along with the other judges in the National Lok Adalat held at at Manjeri, Kerala and settled cases to the satisfaction of the complainants. ( Courtesy: Hindu Daily).

Many such decisions are required for empowering the transgenders to be part of the common society and take their place.

Kerala the biggest buyers of GOLD in India

Gold, India, Kerala

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?
