Kerala
has had a commendable
record in terms of the
Physical Quality of
Life Index. Indicators
of PQLI like infant
mortality (11%), female
literacy (87.86%), and
life expectancy at birth
for males (68.23) and
females (73.62), are
well above all India
levels. The major reason
for this achievement
is Kerala's focus on
the service sector.
About 37% of the total
annual expenditure of
the State is earmarked
for health and education.
Another reason for this
is the existence of
a larger network of
hospital infrastructure
under the Directorate
of Health Services with
933 primary health centres
and 5094 sub centres |
