Draft Seventh Five Year Plan 1985-90 and Annual Plan 1985-86 Volume I State Planning Board Trivandrum December 1984

Abstract

The prospects of the Kerala’s future economic development are closely linked with the structure and content of the planning process hither to adopted and the special features of the State’s economy. Successive Governments in the State have laid emphasis on the spread of education and health services, social welfare measures and infrastructure such as roads, water supply and electricity. As a consequence of this pattern of investment, it is generally recognised that social consumption of the people at all levels of income in Kerala is the highest in the country.
