What Kerala Does Differently

The Kerala development model and what it has produced compared to other Indian states

The Model

The Kerala development model -- the specific combination of high public investment in health and education, the progressive land reform that redistributed agricultural land in the 1950s and 1960s, and the specific political culture that the organised labour movement and the successive Communist Party governments produced -- has delivered the specific social development outcomes that make Kerala the outlier in the Indian state comparison.

The Outcomes

The outcomes: Kerala has a life expectancy of approximately 75 years, approximately 8 years above the Indian national average. The infant mortality rate is approximately 6 per 1,000 live births, approximately one-quarter the national average. The literacy rate is approximately 96 percent, approximately 20 percentage points above the national average. Each outcome reflects decades of sustained public investment in the specific social services that the outcomes measure.

Genie Knows Coverage

Genie Knows India covers the Kerala model because the accountability journalism of Indian state development requires examining the specific policy combination that has produced the highest social development outcomes in the country, and because the model has implications for what other states could produce with comparable commitment to specific public investments.
