About Kerala

Kerala is located along the Malabar Coast in the south of India. The state shares borders with Tamil Nadu to the east and south, as well as with Karnataka to the north and northeast. It derives its name from the endless array of coconut palms here. Kerala literally means “the land of coconuts". The state is bordered by the Western Ghats to the east and the Arabian Sea to the west. The state, which has 14 districts, is the 21st largest state in terms of area. The state capital is Thiruvananthapuram, and Malayalam is the official tongue. It is India's state with the lowest positive population growth, highest human development index, highest literacy rate, highest life expectancy and highest female to male sex ratio. Kerala is considered to be the least impoverished state and the second most major urbanised state in our country.
