Kerala is a rich state.
Blessed with nature’s bounty and developed by highly skilled and capable men, the districts and cities of Kerala have grown to be among the leading foreign currency earners for India, through tourism, trade and cultural exchanges.
It is a treasure trove for the visitors and tourists and a knowledge and cultural pride for the country.
The state government headquarters of Kerala is at the city of Thiruvananthapuram.
