The Socio-Economic Underpinnings of Vaikam Sathyagraha in Travancore
© 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Colonialism, Social Reform and Social Change : The Socio-Economic underpinnings of Vaikam Sathyagraha in Travancore Dr. Subhash. S Asst. Professor Department of History Government College , Nedumangadu Thiruvanathapuram, Kerala. Abstract Vaikam Sathyagraha was a notable historical event in the history of Travancore. It was a part of antiuntouchability agitation initiated by Indian National Congress in 1924. In Travancore the Sathyagraha was led by T.K.Madhavan. Various historical factors influenced the Sathyagraha. The social structure of Travancore was organised on the basis of cast prejudices and obnoxious caste practices. The feudal economic system emerged in the medieval period was the base of such a society. The colonial penetration and the expansion of capitalism destroyed feudalism in Travancore. The change in the structure of economy naturally changed the social structure. It was in this context so many social and political movements emerged in Travancore. One of the most important social movements was Vaikam Sathyagraha. The British introduced free trade and plantations in Travancore by the second half of nineteenth century. Though it helped the British Government to exploit the economy of Travancore, it gave employment opportunity to so many people who belonged to Avarna caste. More over lower castes like the Ezhavas,Shannars etc. economically empowered through trade and commerce during this period. These economically empowered people were denied of basic rights like education, mobility, employment in public service etc. So they started social movements. A number of social movements emerged in Travancore in the nineteenth century and the first half of twentieth century. -

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. -

Kerala: a Development Model? by PRAMILA JAYAPAL BANGALORE, India 26 June 1995
PART 1 Kerala: A Development Model? BY PRAMILA JAYAPAL BANGALORE, India 26 June 1995 Kerala, the "Green Gateway to India," is one of the smallest states in India. It is a narrow finger of land, occupying 38,863 square kilometers on India's southwest coast. The legend of Kerala is that the land was a gift of Varuna, the god of the sea, to Parasurama, one of the ten avatars or incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Varuna is said to have told Parasu- rama that he could have all the land he could cover by throwing down his parasu or ax. Parasurama's ax was thrown into the sea, causing the water to recede from Kanyakumari to Gokarnam. This formed Kerala. According to history books, Kerala State was formed in 1956 as a re- sult of India's linguistic reorganization, and combined the princely states of Travancore and Cochin (ruled by Maharajas) with the Mala- yalam speaking part of the Madras Presidency called Malabar. In the 1991 census, Kerala's population was approximately 29 million, mak- ing it one of the most densely populated states in India. Bordered on the east by the Western Ghats (hills), 1600 kilometers in length, and on the west and south by the Lakshadweep Sea, Kerala has always re- mained isolated from the events taking place throughout the rest of India. However, because of its coastal location and abundant indige- nous spices, Kerala was a prime destination for Arab, Portuguese and Dutch traders. As a result, Keralites treat foreigners with some meas- ure of nonchalance, and some of the major cities are unusual blends of typical Kerala and Dutch or Portuguese architecture. -
State Urbanisation Report Kerala a Study on the Scattered Human Settlement Pattern of Kerala and Its Development Issues
STATE URBANISATION REPORT KERALA A STUDY ON THE SCATTERED HUMAN SETTLEMENT PATTERN OF KERALA AND ITS DEVELOPMENT ISSUES DEPARTMENT OF TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING - GOVERNMENT OF KERALA March 2012 MARCH 2012 STATE URBANISATION REPORT DEPARTMENT OF TOWN & COUNTRY PLANNING GOVERNMENT OF KERALA Any part of this document can be reproduced by giving acknowledgement. FOREWORD Urbanization is inevitable, when pressure on land is high, agricultural income is low, and population increase is excessive. Even where rural jobs are available, drift to cities occurs, as it offers a promise of economic opportunity and social mobility. It should be recognized that urbanization is not a calamity but a necessity. Urbanisation is a positive force and urban growth is an impetus to development. Both accelerate industrialization to some extent, they permit change in the social structure by raising the level of human aspiration, facilitate the provision of public services to a large sector of the population, and make possible increased economic opportunities and improve living conditions for those people who remains in the rural areas. The positive role of urbanisation can be materialized only if the cities are economically viable and capable of generating economic growth in a sustained manner. Coming to Kerala, urbanisation as well as settlement pattern of the state shows marked peculiarities. In this context, the Department of Town and Country Planning undertook a detailed study on urbanisation in the state and has now come up with a State Urbanisation Report. I must appreciate the Department for undertaking such an innovative and timely study. The State Urbanisation Report (SUR) explores the capabilities and implications of the urbanisation in the state, in the context of its unique settlement pattern. -

Exclusion and Regional Disparity in 'Kerala Model' of Development
INDIA 2019: POPULATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ISBN: 978-93-89527-03-2; pp:109-118 Exclusion and Regional Disparity in ‘Kerala Model’ of Development: A Threat to the Sustainable Development Sajid MS Introduction Kerala is known for its high to very high social development indicators and is ranked at the top among states and Union Territories of India. The state has achieved an advanced stage of social development despite relatively low economic growth rate. However, the development issues and concerns are almost the same as those faced by other backward regions of the country. Disparities between the northern and the southern regions of the state have emerged long-back and they continue to persist till to date. Based on the geographic and demographic demands, availability of public institutions across the regions is not at the adequate level. As a result, social inequality appears to have widened among different classes based on their vulnerability. In the present paper, we analyse regional disparity between north and south Kerala and its concomitant consequences in the development of the state. The paper also discusses implications of widening regional disparity for the development policy of the state. All the indicators related to education and health in Kerala are the best in the country. Because of the very advanced level of health and education in the state even at low levels of economic development, the ‘Kerala model’ of development has widely been accepted even at the international level and is considered as a replicable model. The ‘Kerala model’ of development is referred to as high level of social development at low level of economic development or low industrial growth. -

Introduction 1 The World has been experiencing a rare disaster of Corona virus pandemic (COVID- 19) since December 2019. Most of the countries in the World have been implementing quarantines and social distancing practices to contain the pandemic and implemented lockdown. The COVID-19 has spread to 215 countries and territories in the World. The scientists are not able to predict future spread of the disease, its containment, time required to control it or magnitude of loss of human lives. The COVID-19 has created a multiple crisis in several fronts: health; travel; economy; finance; production and output; employment and unemployment; prices; emigration and remittances; fiscal situation of governments etc. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its April World Economic Outlook projected that the global growth in 2020 will fall to (-)3 percent. The IMF observes that this makes the great lockdown the worst recession since Great Depression and far worse than the global financial crisis. 2 The 68 days national lockdown in India has inflicted severe damage on all sectors of national and state’s economy and pushed the economy to an unprecedented recession. -
