Food and communications are not done by govt at the moment; furthermore, there is no implicit responsbility on the govt to do anything other than regulating industry (some would say, not even that, as in Somalia, etc). Finally, if you ask Kerala Govt to hire developers, then the only thing you will do is open a can of worms. Also, it's not like Kerala Govt doesnt already have developers who are supposed to do these things (as you think they should).
Personally, the govt should get out of industry and leave that to the people.
