We’ve just got to know that the state of Kerala has topped the 2021 Public Affairs Index. The PFA ranks states and union territories based on three factors: Equity, Growth and Sustainability. These three pillars are overlooked along the lines of 5 themes, 14 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 43 indicators.
The report was released by the Public Affairs Centre, a not-for-profit think tank, in Bengaluru. Kerala even topped last year’s index for its great economic and social transition.
