Help / How To Use

Scroll this website in order and each section will teach you something useful.

K-PULSE is not meant to be read like a newspaper. It works best when you move from quick signals, to district economy, to jobs, to personal decisions.

Best For

First-time visitors

Learn the flow in under two minutes

Reading Style

Top to bottom

Each block builds on the previous one

Goal

Learn and decide

Not just read, but use the data

Step

01

Start with the top pulse

Read the alert rail and top signal strip first. That gives the fastest summary of what changed in Kerala today before you go deeper.

When To Use

Use this when you only have 30 seconds.

Step

02

Scroll into the finance belt

This section shows the major Kerala hubs in KL order. It tells you which places are moving money, exports, trade, logistics, or services right now.

When To Use

Use this to understand which district economy is active.

Step

03

Open producer to jobs

Tap a hub to see what that region produces and which jobs come from that local economy. This is the fastest way to connect district strength to career direction.

When To Use

Use this when you want to know where your skills fit.

Step

04

Tap the reality feed

Each feed card is a real issue, trend, or headline. Tap it to open the explainer panel and see why that signal matters instead of reading it like normal news.

When To Use

Use this when you want context, not just headlines.

Step

05

Check jobs and migration together

The jobs area shows hiring direction, while the migration radar shows whether staying, moving inside India, or going abroad looks smarter right now.

When To Use

Use both sections before making a career move.

Step

06

Finish with politics and your dashboard

The last sections help you read election mood, public pressure, and your personal decision signals in one place.

When To Use

Use this to turn state-level trends into your next step.
