Is it true that the state of Kerala has reduced poverty by distribution of foodgrains

Is it true that the state of Kerala has reduced poverty by distribution of foodgrains at highly subsidised prices. Can this condition be followed by other states too?

No, the state of Kerala has not reduced poverty by distribution of foodgrains at highly subsidised prices. Rather it has used human resource development as a means for reducing poverty. The other states can also follow the same by investing in health and education.
