KERALA LOOKS AHEAD

AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND CONSULTATION

Kerala State Planning Board

About the Conference

Kerala is poised for a great transformation.

Kerala has been, and remains, the most important example in independent India of the power of public action to improve the well-being of the people and to transform social, political, and cultural conditions in a State.

Today, it is committed to a path of development that will develop, enhance, and modernise the productive sectors of the economy; expand employment in various sectors with an emphasis on creating jobs for educated youth; strengthen and upgrade public education and health; and build upon the network of social welfare and reform measures that are part of the rich legacy of public action in the State.

Kerala Looks Ahead is an International Conference and Consultation that will serve as a platform for the Government of Kerala to learn from the experiences and best practices across the world in its efforts to modernise the economy and bring the benefits of high growth and inclusive development to all the people of Kerala. It is scheduled to be held from February 1 to 3, 2021

The Conference will discuss the future prospects for Kerala in key areas, including agriculture, animal resources, fisheries, e-governance, higher education, industry, information technology, skill development, and tourism. There are two special sessions – on Local Governments and Federalism and Development Financing – that will showcase Kerala’s initiatives in the respective fields. There will also be a special industry session that will discuss a roadmap for the future industrial growth in Kerala.

The Kerala State Planning Board is the main organiser of the Conference. The Conference will be held online.

Policymakers, scholars, youth, students and teachers, representatives of industry and of farmers, social workers, persons in public life, and interested persons from all walks of life interested industry groups, associations, organisations and institutions are invited to join us at Kerala Looks Ahead and in this endeavour.
