The week-long Keraleeyam festival drew huge crowds. The venues of art programs, seminars, book fairs, food stalls, etc. witnessed the participation of people irrespective of age. Although the opposition did not cooperate and boycotted the opening ceremony, the people embraced Kerala. It was the excellent organization that made Keraleeyam such a huge success. The program was organized by the government to mark the 68th anniversary of Kerala State formation.

It may seem reasonable to ask whether it is enough to celebrate after the financial crisis is over. But there can never be any celebration after the financial crisis is over. The notion that all the money spent on celebrations is extravagant is also not true. They are the ones that flow more money into society. It will also provide an income opportunity for thousands. Moreover, such celebrations can also help to present Kerala as a brand in other countries.

Seven days passed when Kerala's cultural splendour and social relevance were announced to the world. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced in the closing session that this festival of Malayalam will be held every year. Apart from the spectacle and celebration, serious discussions and seminars were held along with this. Several suggestions to be implemented in anticipation of Kerala's future emerged in the seminars. All this is codified and reported. When this is implemented without sleeping in the report, it is the answer to those who ask what benefits the country will get from such programs.

About twenty-five seminars were held as part of Keraleeyam. The basic objective of these discussions is to bring Kerala to the level of developed countries in the next 25 years.

Kala Mela is the most successful in Kerala. About 4,000 artists in 300 genres have lined up at various venues. The night clash on Manaveeyam Veedhi turned into a scandal. The police should have ensured the necessary security arrangements in advance to avoid this.

The diligence shown by the Corporation workers to clear the garbage-filled roads at the crack of dawn every day at the end of the fair is highly commendable. The police force who acted according to the situation to control the traffic is also to be commended. The finance minister has said that even half of the amount announced for organizing Keralayam will not have to be paid from the exchequer. Such programs can be organized in the future with the full cooperation of sponsors. Malayalis who have achieved high status in various fields should also be considered to participate in the seminars when organized next time.
