Building of highway, sea walls, and relocation scheme highlights of the project
The first budget of the second Pinarayi government has provided hope for the coastal belt.
The budget has earmarked ₹5,300 crore for a project to protect the coastal belt of the State. Under the project, tetrapods and diaphragm walls will be set up in areas where there are no sea walls or at places where they have collapsed.

For all the talk of Kerala’s high literacy, neither the state’s political parties nor its voters have shown any particular fancy for candidates with distinctly high academic qualifications. The bearded economist with a Marxian beard, T. M. Thomas Isaac has been an exception, winning from Mararikulam and Alappuzha constituencies multiple times. The two-time finance minister of Kerala with a PhD from the Centre for Development Studies in Kerala has often seemed an odd-ball in his party, the Communist Party of India Marxist, in which his colleagues are known for no-holds-barred aggression unlike Isaac who often draws parallels to his fiscal plans for the state with the writings of famous literary icons of the state.

Kerala’s KIIFB on the boil as ED launches probe
March 03, 2021
Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Isaac has dared the Centre to do what it can with Kerala Infrastructure Investment Board (KIIFB), a body corporate financial institution set up by the cash-strapped State government to mobilise funds from outside sources for infrastructure development in the state.
“If the idea is to continue to intimidate the State government in the matter, we would be ready to give it back in kind,” Isaac thundered in a Facebook post after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced a probe into the working of the key infrastructure funding arm of the State government.
