Kerala on upward development, social welfare trajectory: Pinarayi

The Hindu  

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said Kerala was on an upward trajectory in terms of sustainable development, social welfare and quality of life parameters. Mr. Vijayan claimed that instead of making decisions ad hoc, the government acted with long sight by adopting a sustainable, future-proof development model focussing on transforming Kerala into a green, investment-friendly knowledge economy. Hence, the government has prioritised sustainable urban management, including scientific waste disposal, litter-free and green public places, and environment-friendly mass rapid transport systems to mitigate traffic congestion and reduce the State’s carbon footprint. The Chief Minister also said the State battled heavy odds, including catastrophic climate events, to emerge as an oasis of secularism, development and social welfare.
