KERALA’S NEW VALUE SYSTEM

KERALA’S NEW VALUE SYSTEM


Some of the value system imbided by the ‘awakened masses’ are paradoxically the feudal value system. The disdain formattnel work and preference for white collar works have been noticed among the youngsters of the Kerala. This is the contribution of the Education sector to the state development. This explain partially or partly the paradox of labour scarcity in rural casual labour markets despite higher wages. The wage rate for shop assistant or mobile sales agents are very often less than ten days of agricultural wages. Still the preference is for such jobs, limiting the supply for casual work in construction,agriculture etc.As a result we have the paradox of large scale immigration of union were successful in sustaining large number of vestrine practice. In the absence of increase in employment the trade unions in disfesaction resorted to not just a short from but a short sighted strategy of protecting the insiders not unknown in trade union history. These ‘closed up’ policy led to the development of a renties behaviour with in segments of unionized labour that had successfully secured the right to allocate jobs to its members. Accountability was another casuality of these unresistal trade union movement neither can’t less stick nor the higher socialist values could motivate large segments of labour in Kerala. A joke going round in the state is that may workers thought that non-exaction of surplus value is the best means of exploitation.



NO MORE NEW AGENDAS:-



The Kerala model granting to a half ,because the social and political groups , have fulfilled this original agenda are now left with no more new agendas. The society as a whole lost its capacity to set collective goals. There are no more big dreams. Labour from the neighbouring states when the states unemployment rates are 3 to 5 times the all India levels.

The dismal nature of kerala fall in growth rates,



social development

growth of percapita income

agricultural development                       decelerating

industrial development

Lessons:-

1. priority was given for a long time for social services.

2. total revenue was unadequate to to pay salaries resulted in cutting of plan sizes resulted in low rate of growth. Kerala today is facing two problems

3. quality of social welfare measure is slowly going down and

4. technical education is lagging behind.

We can’t find jobs in the job markets otherwise our quality of education is improved. But the quality can’t improved due to lack of expenditure on education is much less than in other states. Though Kerala is top in spending amount on education and healthcare is coming down or the state spend less amount on education and health care. During the last 20 years a parallel education system and a parallel health care system is developed. Student do not going to government schools. In the private sector ,job oriented education is developed mainly on commercial basis aims to earn high profits. Social security system failed. At present ,institution in Kerala are not dysfunctional but counter functional tendency to go as in older days. Highly segmented intellectual is another factor. Poet ,Dramatists, doctors ,Lecturers who are very intellectual.

Unless corresponding economic development is take place. Kerala can’t maintain it social developments. If we want to sustain our Kerala model, we have to strengthen the base of the economy particularly industry.
