Kerala UDF govt’s 100-Day Action Plan faces scrutiny as only 13 of 602 projects are completed with 60 days remaining
The V.D. Satheesan government had announced 602 projects across 50 departments under the banner 100-Day Action Plan for a New Kerala’, to be completed during the 100-day period from July 1 to October 9
The UDF government's ambitious '100-Day Action Plan for a New Kerala' is facing criticism as only 13 out of 602 projects have been completed, with just 60 days left in the 100-day timeframe. The V.D. Satheesan government had outlined 602 projects across 50 departments, aiming to implement them between July 1 to October 9, 2026. A public-facing dashboard has been introduced to track the progress of these projects at 100days.kerala.gov.in.
However, the current state of affairs shows a worrying lack of transparency, as the Health Department, for instance, has 41 projects worth a total of ₹2,990 lakh, yet both physical progress and completed projects are listed as 0%. Public health activist B. Ekbal expressed concern over the absence of significant progress in Health Department projects, emphasizing the importance of accountability and transparency.
While dashboards like this are a welcome step towards ensuring such transparency, Dr. Ekbal stressed that the information must genuinely reflect actual progress on the ground for these mechanisms to be effective.
