Month After Flood, Is Kerala Struggling With Reconstruction, Raising Money? indianexpress.com

Even as a month has gone by since Kerala’s worst disaster in a century, the state’s biggest challenge will be raising the massive amount of money required to put it back on its hard-earned and globally acknowledged development path.

After the initial success in rescue and relief in which civil society played a critical role, the government doesn’t seem to have gained the required momentum or followed an optimal strategy. Looks like it’s still scrambling or isn’t sharing enough information with the media or the public to prove otherwise.

Probably it has done better than what other states would have done, but Kerala is not India, it has a legacy to live up to.
