Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q And, uh, Visingjem port is said to be a potential game changer for the state. What are your expectations from that port?
A Vidinjam. Whenever you can pronounce Vidinjam properly, then you can do anything. That is the first comment of the former CEO of Vidinjam. Very difficult to pronounce Vidinjam. Vidinjam, very high potential for the state of Kerala. That is, ah, very near to international sea routes. Natural depth.

That means if you can save 10 days, you can save 22 lakh 50,000 dollars. This saving should be reflected in the raw materials or other commodities Imported to, imported through Weedingham. And also products exported through Weedingham. That's the cost effective. Then we have already created a master plan. A manufacturing zone should be there. A corridor, growth corridor. The raw materials from different parts of the world. You can bring to, bring through Weedingham. Then you can save this much money. Then assemble it. Then again, send back to the port, to the ship.

A Deep-rooted presumptions was there. Very negative narratives are there. Kerala is not suitable for industry, ah, where communities have ruled there for several decades, ah, labor disputes are very strong, ah, but that is far away from the realities. Kerala is a small landscape, only 1.16 percentage of the landscape of the country, and 2.8 percentage of the population of the country. Kerala is the land of highest number of five star hotels of India. The latest data of tourism ministry that is 91, and financial capital of the country is in the second place, Maharashtra.

Q One question I had for you is for the longest period of time, like Kerala has seen, uh, talent from Kerala move to other states, let's say, for example, to Bangalore or even outside, uh, India, let's say to countries like Dubai. So do you think now in the future, there's enough depth that can keep the talent within Kerala?
A Not only the keep the talent, the reverse migration is also happening. Earlier we are sending people to all of the world. Now we are invading all to Kerala to build up a high-tech manufacturing state. And that is also happening in, while interacting with the employees of certain companies, either in IT or medical device industries, or new technology sector, AI or blockchain technology, or Big data analysis or the robotics. The third people are coming back to the state of Kerala. The geopolitical situation is changing. Nobody can stay in some countries. The visa regulations are changing from morning to evening. Very difficult to stay in the developed countries. Then some of them are compelled to, will be, compelled to back their home to India, ah, wearing our coffin or without. That is the question now. Then we should provide Then what is the reality? The people from Kerala, youth from Kerala is going out for jobs. Earlier it was to Mumbai, then to Ceylon, then to Guelph. Now it is to America, UK, Australia, or Canada. People from Bihar coming to Kerala. People from Assam, Northeast, coming to Kerala. Some other parts of the state, they are coming to Kerala. Then what is, what should we learn from this? That is, in Kerala, jobs are there for With unskilled laborers. But we have a certain shortage of jobs for our own people, highly skilled. Then our objective is to ensure this op…

Q And, uh, for the longest period of time, Kerala has been known, uh, that, you know, you have the best nursing colleges in the country and nurses from Kerala are not only known within India, in the U S in Dubai. So is, is there a plan to like, uh, uh, Increase that over a period of time, or you are happy with that?
A It would increase in number of seats. And also, our, uh, nursing institutions are not sufficient, because people are going to other states. And our nets are going abroad. They're getting more wages. Then, ah, we should, ah, increase, ah, the wages of, ah, our wages is better than other states. That is true. But compared to other countries, it is not that much. Now, we have a very good public healthcare system. At the same time, we have a very advanced private healthcare system. Now, as an industry minister, we have organized a meeting of these private industry hospitals to attract more patients from other parts of the world to the, to the state of Kerala, from Arab countries, African countries. And our students are going to other states for studying. But students from African countries are coming to Kerala. Nepali students coming to Kerala. Arab countries, students are coming to Kerala. Then, we are studying Kerala. Private university bill we have recently adopted. And I think, ah, all these things will change the scenario in a big manner.

Q In Kerala geography, as you pointed out, is usually tight, dense population, forest, coastal CRZ zones, ecologically sensitive wetlands, right? Given all these constraints, how are you planning the, the industrial development? And some critics have said that Kerala's environmental regulations are too rigid, too tight, and others say it can be a strength also. So how do you strike a balance between sustainability and investment promotion?
A If you are Considering the people, planet, and community, then you can come to Kerala. If you are trying to destroy all these things, then it is very difficult. And one speciality of the state of Kerala is the decentralization of power and the transparency, local self-governments. I think then compared to other parts of the country, Kerala is the least corrupted, no bribery, no hidden course. Anybody can establish industry, but in accordance with the rules and regulations prevailed in the state of Kerala. But any rule or act is Ah, not practical. Then you can come to us. Not for you. Any special order for you. No. We will change that. That will be applicable to all. Respective of whether they will come to us or not. It will be applicable to all.

Q And, uh, you know, there was some buzz recently when Kerala read out to Bangalore based IT firms during the water crisis, and it drew a sharp response from Karnataka government. What was the thinking behind that move? And was it more of a signal that Kerala's growing readiness to host large tech firms? And did it result in any tech firms moving from Bangalore?
A Actually, the states are competing, but no, we are not competing to attract the cheapest, uh, Um, and labor cost industries. We are focusing on these type of industries, but we can work together. If some companies work here, the stagnation is also here, then they can come there. Some companies can move from there to here. Then I think, uh, all of us have our own space. Uh, the southern states, most of them are developed. In Kerala, um, our model is well appreciated by the world. Uh, Kerala model of development. Now, but one shortcoming for that development model, that is stagnation in productive sector. Now we are trying to overcome that stagnation. And we are trying to utilize all opportunities, but not blaming this state or that state. We are sending flight to, from states to attack, no. Our feeling is the investors will come by using their own flights to establish in industries or IT firms or big campuses. In the state of Kerala for providing all these, ah, facilities for them. Not incentives. GCC's are coming not for big incentives. If you're ready to available the talent pool according to their requirements, then they will come. Then outcome, what's the outcome of this talent pool? That is very good. Highly productive. Then I think, not competing, we are complementing each other, and we all have their own space for, ah, growth and development.
