The Kerala Story: High on social indices, not so much on infra

The southern state has done splendidly in the last 20 years, but its infrastructure growth is lagging the rest of the country. In 2023-24, it allocated 2.1 percent of its total expenditure towards roads and bridges, which is sharply lower than the 4.5 percent average allocation by states.
