One cannot find a name from Kerala anywhere in the above list. Malayalees are proud of their literacy standard. People of Kerala must be talking too much about personal hygiene. If you take the list of the number of beauty parlours in India per capita, again Kerala may stand high. However maintaining the surroundings and public places clean, Kerala may stand far below among all states of India. Whether it is individual, Panchayat, Municipality, Corporation or the State, all are far behind in cleanliness.

When we call our state God's Own Country, we are bound to see that God is placed in a cleaner environment.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
