  • The Ascent of 'Kerala Model' of Public Health
    THE ASCENT OF ‘KERALA MODEL’ OF PUBLIC HEALTH CC. Kartha Kerala Institute of Medical Sciences, Trivandrum, Kerala [email protected] Kerala, a state on the southwestern Coast of India is the best performer in the health sector in the country according to the health index of NITI Aayog, a policy think-tank of the Government of India. Their index, based on 23 indicators such as health outcomes, governance and information, and key inputs and processes, with each domain assigned a weight based on its importance. Clearly, this outcome is the result of investments and strategies of successive governments, in public health care over more than two centuries. The state of Kerala was formed on 1 November 1956, by merging Malayalam-speaking regions of the former states of Travancore-Cochin and Madras. The remarkable progress made by Kerala, particularly in the field of education, health and social transformation is not a phenomenon exclusively post 1956. Even during the pre-independence period, the Travancore, Cochin and Malabar provinces, which merged to give birth to Kerala, have contributed substantially to the overall development of the state. However, these positive changes were mostly confined to the erstwhile princely states of Travancore and Cochin, which covered most of modern day central and southern Kerala. The colonial policies, which isolated British Malabar from Travancore and Cochin, as well as several social and cultural factors adversely affected the general and health care infrastructure developments in the colonial Malabar region. Compared to Madras Presidency, Travancore seems to have paid greater attention to the health of its people. Providing charity to its people through medical relief was regarded as one of the main functions of the state.

    INFOKARA RESEARCH ISSN NO: 1021-9056 Travancore Government and Public Health 1. Sindhu Thomas, Ph.D. Scholar, Dept. of History, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu. 2. Dr. Y. Srinivasa Rao, Assistant Professor, Department of History, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu. Abstract In independent India, health services have definitely made remarkable progress. As a result, the average expectation of life span has increased more them three times. Travancore can be said to have made the transition from a society with high growth rate, high death rate and high infant mortality rate. From 19th century onwards the changes took place with moderate population growth rate, low crude death rate and relatively low infant mortality. There are many socio-economic conditions unique to Travancore, which have been postulated to this health model possible. This especially is the high female literacy, socio-cultural re- awakening in the nineteenth century, introduction of western system of medicine, the advent of missionaries and the patronization of the kings of erstwhile Travancore princely state. So the Travancore state contributed for the partial success of public health efforts in India as a whole and made Kerala a unique model. This paper is mainly focussing on the initiatives and efforts of Travancore State Government that has taken for its progress in the public health care. Key Words: Public Health, Trivandrum, Kerala Women, Vaccination. Introduction The public health activities of the Travancore state dates back to the first decade of the Volume 8 Issue 11 2019 1857 http://infokara.com/ INFOKARA RESEARCH ISSN NO: 1021-9056 19th century.

  • Idukki District Kerala
    Vol. 5 No. 4 April 2018 ISSN: 2321-788X UGC Approval No: 43960 Impact Factor: 3.025 MIGRATION AND CHANGES IN LAND USE PATTERN IN UDUMBANCHOLA TALUK- IDUKKI DISTRICT KERALA DIBU AVIRACHAN Research Scholar in History, University of Kerala, India Article Particulars: Received: 23.02.2018 Accepted: 23.04.2018 Published: 28.04.2018 Abstract This paper outlines the history of migration and the changes in land use pattern in Udumbanchola taluk in Idukki district, Kerala. The relationship between various religious communities has greatly influenced migration, forest enchrochment and conflict over land controle in this area. A historical analysis of this relationship is essential to understanding the causes of changes in land use pattern in the study area. The comparative study shows that the settlement areas that occupied hardly 0.73% in 1910 were increased to 30.57% in 1990 by transferring forest lands, grasslands and cardamom plantations. Due to the depletion of natural vegetation and grass land system by the establishment of houses, cash crops and infrastructural facilities, combined with the absence of sufficient land management measures in the side slopes resulted severe land degradation in the study area. Introduction Idukki district was formed in the year 1972 as per Government notification No54131/C2/72/RD dated 24th January 1972. The district consists of Devikulam, Udumbanchola and Peerumedu taluk of the earst while Kottayam district and Thodupuzha taluk of the earstwhile Ernakulam district¹. At the time of formation, the district headquarters started functioning at kottayam and from there it was shifted to painavu in Thodupuzha taluk in june 1976, where it is proposed to build a new planned forest township².
