This movement of people and with them, our culture has created myriad Keralas of vibrant and distinct characters outside the geographical boundaries of the state. It is imperative to constitute a democratic space in order that cultural, socio-political and economic co-operation between home and outer Keralas are facilitated, and channelled into the creation of a Global Kerala Synergy.

Malayalis are one of the world’s most explorative people and with them Kerala has grown beyond its geographical limits. Migration has helped the identity and culture of Kerala to spread far and wide making us a true global community. These journeys of culture has inturn contributed to creating new, distinct and multifarious forms of Kerala. This necessitates a space of confluence for all these streams of Malayali life. Loka Kerala Sabha is an idea whose time has come. The Loka Kerala Sabha will make the voice of the Pravasis heard. It is the intention of this Government to connect the Malayali community from around the world.

Shri. Pinarayi Vijayan

Chief Minister of Kerala

I am quite sure that Loka Kerala Sabha formed as a fraternity group for Pravasis residing other parts of the world and other parts of India and Union territories is capable of discussing and finding solutions to the problems of Pravasis while at the same time capable of contributing to the development of Kerala. I express my heart felt wishes to Loka Kerala Sabha.

Former Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Legislative Assembly

Loka Kerala Sabha is a noble example of global participation rooted in essence of Kerala. The emmigrants from Kerala imbibe the spirit of universal brotherhood, diaspora and the better elements of global financial, political and cultural scenario while at the same time maintaining the attachment and reverence towards the mother tongue and their homeland. Loka Kerala Sabha possess a wide scope since it not only consists of representatives within the state but also consists of representatives of Kerala Pravasis. For the Kerala Government, Loka Kerala Sabha offers an opportunity for exactly iidentifying the issues of the Pravasis. Loka Kerala Sabha will emerge as a novel ideal for Indian democracy.
