KERALA RISING · FROM EXPORTING PEOPLE TO EXPORTING IDEAS
If pursued: an implementation
summary
This summary is written for the reader who,
having judged the framework worth examining,
needs to see how it would translate into
administrative reality: the vehicle, the approvals,
the phasing, the outlay, the responsibilities, and
the safeguards. It is a structured sketch, not an
authorised plan. Every specific here, the legal
form, the sequence, the figures, is illustrative
and stated so that a department can replace it
with its own instruments, rules, and current
numbers. Nothing in it commits anyone to
anything.
AT A GLANCE
Core
framework
One reusable verification-and-recognition
capability, built once and configured for many
civic outcomes, housed in a permanent public
institution rather than a contract or app.
Economics
One-time milestone-gated capitalisation;
verification is the cheapest line by far;
institution structured to cover its own running
costs from shared revenue over time.
Governance
Three non-transferable vehicles, state board
majority, CAG jurisdiction, state-owned IP,
quarterly public audit; the public-interest
safeguards are binding at founding.
