    BUDGET SPEECH 2019-20 By Dr. T.M. THOMAS ISSAC FINANCE MINISTER On 31st JANUARY, 2019 GOVERNMENT OF KERALA CONTENTS Pages Part - I - Preface 1 Part - II - 25 Projects for a New Kerala 8 Part - III - Development Sectors 46 Part – IV - Fiscal Analysis 84 Conclusion 101 PREFACE Sir, 01. In the last year we have survived two disasters. The first one is extreme rainfall and the floods of July-August, which was the heaviest floods witnessed by this generation. The world watched in amazement the unity launched under the leadership of the Chief Minister with precise planning, resource mobilisation and speedy execution under constant vigil and supervision. Everyone, including fish workers, common people, the youth, Non-Resident Indians, and officials had joined hands with the sole aim to confront the disaster. The ensuing urgent rehabilitation activities were successfully implemented in an exemplary manner. Now is the phase of reconstruction. I am presenting the Budget 2019-20 of this State Government, which has undertaken the responsibility of reconstruction, before this house. 02. The vision of Sree Narayana Guru that “whatever be the religion, attire or language their cast is one” is most relevant at this time. As envisaged by the Guru, the renaissance remoulded Malayalees as the ”human caste.” Along with modernizing its people, renaissance also attempted reforming the society of Kerala as a whole. That is why Narayana Guru persuaded the great poet Kumaran Asan to start a tile factory. It was to create a healthy and hygienic society that Guru made his disciple C.R.Kesavan Vaidyar to start a soap company.
