The main objective of the Nava Kerala programme is to raise the standard of living of the people of Kerala to that of the middle-income countries in 25 years, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
He was speaking after the State-level inauguration of 1,600 Onam markets (Ona Chantha), being organised by Consumerfed across the State, here on Monday.
While the country had been witnessing a sharp price rise, Kerala had become a model for the country with no increase in the prices of 13 essential commodities for the common man for the past six years, said Mr. Vijayan.
