How many young Keralites have ever attended a Grama Sabha

The full distribution for “Have you ever physically attended a local civic governance platform, such as a Grama Sabha or open ward meeting?” (n = 399) is: No, I have no idea how local ward governance functions — 57.4% (229); No, but I know how and when they occur — 26.8% (107); Yes, multiple times actively — 9.5% (38); Yes, exactly once — 6.3% (25).

The cohort is clearly concentrated on this question. A single option carries 57.4% of responses, so the headline figure is stable enough to plan against. The smallest recorded answer, yes, exactly once, still represents 25 people — a group large enough to matter in programme design even at 6.3%.

These are self-reported answers from a community-recruited cohort of 399 young Keralites surveyed between 21 May and 28 June 2026. They are not probability-sample estimates of Kerala's youth population, and confidence intervals from random sampling do not apply.

Because 74.4% of respondents sit in one age band and 72.7% identify as male, subgroup differences are indicative at best. Cross-tabulated claims require a larger, stratified sample.

Finally, the survey measures single-point self-report, so it can establish association and scale but not direction or cause. Where this brief notes a pattern across two questions, that pattern is descriptive.
