INTRODUCTION The Human Development Index in the country rose by 21% in 2011. Kerala is placed on top of the Index for achieving the highest literacy rate, quality health services and consumption expenditure of people. Delhi, Himachal and Goa are placed at 2nd, 3rd and 4th position. The Education Index of Kerala is 0.92 and The Health Care Index is 0.8. It is said good governance and social mobilization by the State Government is reflected by the fact that the members belonging to the Scheduled Caste and backward communities in Kerala are better off than the general population of many states such as Bihar, Chattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh in terms of various health outcome indicators.

The Government has agreed to sanction the required funds from the Schedules Caste Component Planned (SCP) Funds. The project is envisaged as a residential integrated educational institution for health care sciences. This will also have in- house facilities to meet all the basic needs of the residents. The proposal is to go for an environmental friendly green building with maximum energy sourced from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. This institution will set a trend in health care education for others to follow in future.As of now the project is being funded from the SCP funds. However all out efforts will be taken to make the institution self supporting through marketing of commercial services. Additional medical and paramedical courses will also be started in due course.
