The recent proposal from the Principal Secretary, Industries, argues for a repeal of the land reforms law itself in order to overcome many of the problems in agriculture and industry caused by extreme fragmentation of land, including loss-making cultivation, alienation of private capital and ineffective management. Such a measure, it further argues, is also necessary to attract the large-scale industrial investment that Kerala badly needs for setting up IT parks, real estate projects, amusement parks and commercial centers. As a result the value of the Properties in Tripunithura and near by places increased.

Success in house decoration depends on something more than the use of good paint. At least as important is thorough knowledge and understanding not only of the properties and possibilities of the materials employed, but also those of the different surfaces over which they are used. Here, we will see the materials and methods to achieve best results. There is a host of materials used. Fillers are used to repair cracks in plaster and fill small holes and blemishes. Primers are used to apply first coat to bare wood and metal. For galvanized metal a special zinc primer must be used; otherwise your subsequent coats will eventually flake off. Sealers are used for preserving, waterproofing and preventing problems occurring to subsequent coats caused by chemicals and fungi from the underlying surface. Different sealers are used to counteract different problems. Undercoats/basecoats provide the surface for the following finish coat. This is by far the most important stage in getting a first class finish. If necessary a second or even third undercoat should be applied, if needed. Glosses, semi-gloss, eggshell and matt are the usual types of finishes used; a high-gloss finish by far is the most common. It is often difficult to get an undercoat to match various stronger colors and manufacturers normally recommend two coats of finish. Emulsions and latex are paints (which are water-based) for use on ceilings and walls. They are easy to use and dry quickly. They can be used on interior wood but lack the hardwearing qualities of undercoat and gloss.
