The three dimensions of MPI are education, health & standard of living. Of these, education is the kernel. Which means if you provide quality education to your citizen, half the battle is won. Remember, Kottayam became 100% in literacy 30 years ago.

Also Mary Punnen Lukose from Aymannam was the first female Surgeon General of India, we were also ruled by very farsighted rulers of Travancore who understood the importance of education. Also one of the first temples to allow lower castes to worship there was in Kottayam district, all these I think helped in raising awareness that all humans deserved equal respect and helped to eradicate poverty.

Education, well no doubts on that.......but compassion, experience has been so otherwise. Sorry to mention this, but if compassion is to be measured just on the parameter of feeding the hungry, Kudos to Kottayam. Appreciate the gentleman whose efforts on this aspect bore fruits on the aforesaid lines. No doubts about that. But compassion is a wider term that also expects people of kottayam to view their other religious counter parts with kindness, and also to extend the 'kottayam hospitality' to the lesser privileged who have no access to the political prowess of the mighty Kerala congress leaders and their elite followers.

As a native of Kottayam, I naturally thoroughly enjoyed your video. However, I feel that one cannot talk about the impact of education in Kottayam,or indeed in Kerala without mentioning the name of St Kuriakose Chavara. Primary education comes first; and it was Chavara Achan's Sanskrit school that first offered primary schooling to all children irrespective of class or caste. In addition his vision in starting 'pallikudams', was the beginning of a revolution. It is this very lack of education, irrespective of caste and creed,that is keeping the rest of India in poverty.

It is good that there is hardly any poverty in Kottayam. But there are many things about Kottayam and Kerala in general about which one has reason reason to be worried. Majority of today's youth in Kerala are allergic to physical labour. As a result even the available land is heavily under utilized. Unskilled workers who are paid a minimum Rs., 800 a day work like govt. employees and their productivity would discourage anyone from hiring them. Unless Keralites shun their false prestige and appreciate the importance of hard work, Kerala's future will be bleak.

Statistics do not remove poverty. Why Mr. PU Thomas has to serve food for free to thousands daily .? He is doing something outstanding . He puts all the CSR Directors of the corporate world behind. We must accept the truth. We cant be happy that a District is better compared to something worst all around. No one is well off unless all are. We have the option to praise everything or be cynical. But somewhere in the middle the truth will stare at us and ask this question, are we really well off? Joe.

This income per her head goes like this. State shown the figures as bubble. Because of this, State get minimum or no Grands from Center. And per head debut is 90000/-. Now this may be 1.2 lakhs. Govt is meeting the daily expenses and new projects with loan. All the sector is supported with NGOs. Like education, food, shelter and jobs for many through micro home products..

Kerala is the least corrupt state by Modi's Niti ayog. I am running pillar to post for getting a land resurvey done and it is pending for about two plus years now. My cousin is behind his ancestral land to get converted from Paadam to Nilam. He has got an ok from collector and the papers are waiting in highest office in revenue department, everything ok but not done for more than 3 years. Kerala has the health standard of some states of US. But pathetic when it comes to something like i mentioned. In US, you can get the above things done in couple of weeks. Here if you have party influence, you get it done or can have bribe given to the right people through those party guys. I wonder we had some more corruption like in some other states. At least we could save on the costly time by spending a few thousands.

Interest rated reducing. In fact it should set off inflation rate. Govt will never give correct inflation rate. So on and so forth. As prashant bhushan said lot of loopholes in data collection. As far as the education is concerned , Kamaraju 5th pass only, is more successful in Tamilnadu than the learned Rajagoplachari.

Kottayam mother and sister encourage their son /brother to physically torture women who has come by marrying their son/brother and by doing they do not have 1% feeling that they are doing wrong to a woman. This is example of standard of education they received and culture they are nurturing. Men feel they are manly while doing so and women(mother /sister) at home approve such acts of man. People of kottayam must know that paper education does not make them human when they remain morally illiterate. They nèed to work on their moral education.
