The State of Kerala is known all over the world as an educationally advanced part of the country which has many outstanding achievements in the field of education, health, habitat, land reforms etc, generally constitutes what is widely known as ‘Kerala Model of Development’. Kerala is the only State in the country with very high Human Development Index of 0.709 in all the three dimensions of Health, Education and Income both with and without adjustment for inequality. The index of education, health and per capita income is the symbol of social development and are inter-dependent. Together better education and health has an implication on better per capita income. In fact, Kerala is far ahead of the national objectives in the Primary and Secondary education and is striving for attaining international standards in Higher education, Technical education and Research. Deviating from its trajectory, the Twelfth Plan document states that the private sector will be encouraged to establish larger and higher quality institutions. It also states that new models of Public–Private Partnerships (PPP) in higher education will be encouraged. The Kerala model shows that comprehensive interventions pertaining to nutrition, health, sanitation, and early simulation can help to achieve sustainable growth in human development. Even the Incheon Declaration expects member states to spend 4-6 per cent of their GDP on education to achieve SDG4. India is a signatory to this declaration. In contrast to the rest of India and most other low-income countries, people in Kerala enjoy education and health at levels close to those in the West. Women in Kerala are generally far better off than women in the rest of India, and people at all levels of society have greater access to education – as well as a greater say in their governance – than can be found in any other Indian state.
