The Clean Kerala Scheme envisages to make Kerala totally
clean by collecting and processing all sorts of waste in
a period of three years. The Total Physical Fitness Scheme
intends to develop physical fitness among all students of
the age group 9 - 19. Under the Scholarship scheme meant
for promoting education among poorer sections of society
