While the inability to fully tap existing resource potential could be cited as a reason, the paper argues that the main constraint is the limited taxing powers of the States. The study concludes that the power to tax services should be devolved, from the Centre to the States, lest the fiscal dispossession should affect the sustainability of achievements which have made the development experience of Kerala unique. - Reproduced.
