The Neelakurinji Revolution

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

The Neelakurinji revolution (2018) refers to a unique model of crowdsourced social transformation and innovation that was first seen prominently in the rescue & relief operations in Kerala during the disaster of August 2018.

Neelakurinji are plants that bloom enmasse every 12 years. The coinage refers to the fact that certain features of this natural phenomenon can be seen in the way the people of Kerala conducted themselves during the monsoon floods and landslides. Besides the neelakurinji bloom coincides with the ReImagine Kerala mission in 2018, especially in places ravaged by the disaster.

Even while Kerala battled floods and landslides in what is considered the worst disaster the state has had to face in a century, the prevailing spirit was that of harmony and hope. Apart from the years of investment and focus into human development and cultural unity that gives Keralites a high sense of statehood, the contributing factors include a large population of millennials assuming responsibility and stepping up to lead a wave of change, as well as social media's role in amplifying compassion and reassurance. A widespread and super-agile mobilization of technology solutions has also been noted as a significant differentiation in disaster response in Kerala.

Multidisciplinary expert studies and assessments are underway on the Neelakurinji Revolution and how this can be leveraged/ streamlined for rebuilding Kerala and adapted for other societies.[1]
