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.
