Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Keralam Chief Minister VD Satheesan on Sunday extended greetings to the people of Keralam on the occasion of Keralappiravi, marking the 70th anniversary of the state’s formation.

In a post on X, PM Modi highlighted Keralam’s vibrant traditions, natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, saying the state had always held a cherished place in India’s history.

PM Modi described the people as Keralam’s greatest strength and praised their achievements in healthcare, education, entrepreneurship, science and other fields. He further said their dedication and commitment to excellence had earned admiration beyond India’s borders.

The Prime Minister wished residents greater opportunities, prosperity and continued progress in the coming years.

Chief Minister VD Satheesan also extended Keralappiravi greetings, reflecting on the state’s seven-decade journey and its achievements across various sectors.

In his message, Satheesan said Keralam was entering a new era by drawing strength from its accomplishments and lessons learnt over the past 70 years. He emphasised the need for compassionate governance that combines development with care for the struggles and needs of every individual.

The Chief Minister described the next five years as a crucial period for shaping Keralam’s future and called on people to work together towards building a progressive state.

Keralam was formed on November 1, 1956, under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, by bringing together Malayalam-speaking regions of Travancore-Cochin and the Malabar district.

People across Keralam observe Kerala Piravi, also known as Keralappiravi, every year on November 1 to mark the formation of the state.
