 Interesting! Can you tell me anything about the Sports in Kerala? 
 Sure. They have a football team (what Americans would call soccer) that has won a championship, the Santhosh Trophy six times. Two of their teams are the Kerala Blasters FC and the Gokulam Kerala FC. 
 Wow neat! any other information regarding the sports in Kerala? 
 Cricket is popular there. The Kerala team is named the Kochi Tuskers. It may have been a different team from Kerala, but they recently performed well in a competition called the Ranji Trophy and reached the quarter-finals for the first time in history in 2017-2018. 
 Wow that is interesting! Thanks for sharing that. Do you happen to have any information about the subdivisions in Kerala? 
 There are fourteen districts in six regions in the state. The largest one, called a corporation, is the Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporations. In Kochi, the metropolitan area is called an urban agglomeration.

 The third tier of their government is the local institutions. Within the 14 districts, there are 152 Block Panchayats, 978 Grama Panchayats, 60 Municipalities, six corporations and one township. 
 Wow that's interesting! Any other information about the sports or subdivisions in Kerala? 
 Local elections for the panchayats are held regularly and govern local affairs. In the Judiciary, there is the Kerala High Court and then a system of lower courts.
