100% literacy? What does it mean after 25 years?

Today Kerala celebrated its 25th anniversary of being a 100% literate state. (e-literacy and 100% primary education are recent achievements). But at the same time, few issues remain unaddressed. 1. Suicides, Ever increasing Criminal cases and Sexual harassment. 2. Death due to life style diseases and road accidents. 3. Export of skilled labor and high dependency on NRI money. 4. And there is a BIG BIG issue to deal with..environmental degradation and climate changes because of our obsession towards "development". This is not a perfect model which the other Indian states can replicate. To prove that the achievements were not incidental and Kerala is different indeed... Care is not just about KARUNYA LOTTERY. It's much more than that!
