<h1>Finance Commission Visits Kerala to Assess Economy, Challenges Include Learning Outcomes & Ageing Population.</h1> The Fifteenth Finance Commission of India will visit Kerala from May 28 to 31, 2018, to evaluate the state's finances and socio-economic progress. Kerala, contributing 4.2% to India's GDP, has a strong service sector and high per capita income, supported significantly by NRI remittances. Despite its high literacy rate of 94%, the state faces challenges with learning outcomes and an ageing population, which may increase social security spending. The Commission will engage with state officials, political leaders, and industry representatives to assess economic growth and development prospects. Kerala is the first southern state to be visited by the Commission.
