DMaking Kerala's economy export-led

Answer:

Remittances have allowed many families in Kerala to move away from agriculture as their primary source of income, with significant investment directed toward improving household living standards, health, and education.
The inflow has not notably led to large-scale manufacturing or made Kerala’s economy export-led; instead, it created a service-driven economy and increased per capita income.
While remittances are many times higher than state government revenues, their most direct effect has been on household consumption, reducing dependence on traditional sectors like agriculture.
