The administration of Kasaragod is also moving with a new sense of energy. Projects that once took time are now progressing faster with better coordination across departments. Public spaces are being improved and community focused planning is becoming more common. More attention is being given to areas such as tourism, infrastructure, waste management, and local entrepreneurship. This new approach to governance is helping the district operate more efficiently while staying connected to the needs of its people.
