In contemporary India, while considering development, Kerala and Gujarat are two leading states. I have been watching a lot of heated arguments from different corners about the comparison of the different model of development adopted in these two Indian states. Some say the Kerala Model of Development outshines Gujarat Model of Development while others argue the opposite. Not only the common people but also the world famous economists are taking part in this debate. It is a very interesting discussion, and it includes the overall economic conditions, GDP, investments attracted, number industries present, healthcare, wealth generation, literacy, etc.

I am not going to press my views on whether development in Gujarat or Kerala is better on this article but I will share statistical data published by Government agencies and reputable NGOs. Once you have completed the reading, you won't face any issues to decide the winner. I leave the judgment of whether the Kerala Development Model or the Gujarat Development Model is better for the readers.
