Portrait of the Chief Minister of Kerala

Crisis produces leaders. The best testimony is youth of Kerala who have led the response and recovery of the state from multiple recent natural calamities and on-going COVID19 pandemic. Skilled and socially committed youth has always shaped our society from as far back as the 19th century renaissance movement. The aspirations of youth across the world have changed. And it is time that Governments acknowledge and nurture their dreams and shape future leadership; a leadership which advances the values of modernity, professional ethos, humaneness, critical thinking, scientific temper, secularism, gender justice and egalitarianism. A leadership which contributes to human commons beyond partisan politics or sectarianism.

— Shri. Pinarayi Vijayan, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Kerala
Kerala Youth Leadership Academy building
Kerala Youth Leadership Academy (KYLA) is a new institution of the Government of Kerala, that aims to nurture leadership amongst the youth in the state. It is chaired by the Hon’ble Chief Minister and works under the General Administration Department (GAD). KYLA is the first of its kind Government Leadership Institute in the country to transform our youth into socially and potentially viable inclusive leaders of the future who are receptive and accommodative to the changes around. This potentially growing institution aims to build capacities, perspectives and attitudes of the Kerala youth enabling them to think and be better civic-conscious leaders and state-of-the-art agents in values and ethics. KYLA aims to provide access to global resources in the field of public policy, governance, administration, leadership, management, technology, constitution, etc., and promoting a cultural and attitudinal reorientation of the youth to think, help, live and aim better and to utilize their potential and incorporate innovative ideas in state governance.
