520			_aThe paper examines Kerala's development performance relative to that of the other states of India in the light of the recent controversy about the nature of the `Kerala model' of development. One view in this regard is that the model, which provides for social development much in excess of economic development, is an ideal one for all developing nations. In striking contrast is the view that such a model is not sustainable. The paper shows that neither view is totally correct. It provides evidence that in Kerala there has actually been very little trade-off between growth and equity, in terms of social development. It also shows that social development is not as much as it is claimed in Kerala. The paper further indicates that the state has not succeeded in attracting investments and putting its large foreign remittances to productive use within. It ends with a warning that the Kerala model can be sustained in the long run only if this drawback is rectified soon. - Reproduced
