Brainstorming session to discuss development plans for Keralam
Organised by the Kerala State Planning Board, the event aims to lay the groundwork for the ‘Puthuyuga Keralam’ development model
On November 13, a high-level brainstorming session will convene at Hotel King Fort in Palayam to design developmental strategies for Keralam's 15th Five-Year Plan (2027-32). The State Planning Board is organizing the event, with Revenue Minister A.P. Anil Kumar slated to open proceedings.
Kozhikode South MLA Faisel Babu will chair the session, which aims to establish the foundations for the 'Puthuyuga Keralam' development model. This model emphasizes economic expansion, social equity, fiscal prudence, technological progress, and environmentally conscious infrastructure to enhance residents' quality of life statewide. K.M. Chandrasekhar, the State Planning Board's Vice-Chairman, will give an introductory speech, while Kozhikode District Collector M.S. Madhavikutty will extend a warm welcome.
The chief guest for the consultation will be M.K. Muneer, Chairperson of the Administrative Reforms Commission. The gathering will assess the district's development priorities, resource availability, existing obstacles, and long-term objectives. It will also provide a forum to examine the performance of local self-governing bodies and integrate grassroots-level developmental inputs into the State-level planning framework.
Elected officials, subject matter experts, business leaders, and non-governmental organizations will participate in the discussions. A Google Form will be available to collect public feedback and development suggestions. Following the opening ceremony, a session dedicated to collecting ideas from elected representatives and district-level officials will commence at 2 p.m.
