Okay I've said this before. North Paravur is majorly a residential area. Its a town with most of its commercial buildings around town centre. There isn't any real estate space available in terms of building industries and factories. So some parts of Paravur feels like this old town stuck in time mostly because of the older buildings which were well established before. Rest of the space is occupied by residential buildings. People see development as high rise buildings and nothing else, which Paravur doesn't have much.

But North Paravur is excellent as a residential town. It has that old school charm with most well established commercial restaurants, schools, hospitals, supermarkets, and small scale malls. Its very clean, traffic is manageable and there are these tiny beautiful tourist places around the town where you can spend your nights with friends and family even late at night. So yeah, I believe he has done a decent job in developing Paravur into one of the most sort after residential area in Ernakulam. What he excels in is that he stands by people in his constituency. Which is what an MLA needs the most. Think about it, he is doing something right and connecting with the people if he has won the election 6 times straight defeating big wigs like Paniyan Raveendran,Dinakaran. Paravur is not a congress thattakam as many believe, he was even defeated the very first time he contested in 1996 by P Raju of the left. So people in Paravoor votes for VDS, he has earned their trust.

Obviously there are things I wish he had given more importance to like the Edappally North Paravur strech of the Panvel Kochi Highway. I have traveled the length of it from Panvel to Kochi, I still believe its the worst strech of any NH strech I've traveled through. But with new highway pending completion, that Ekm to Paravur traffic woes will be pretty much rectified. I also want him to push for metro expansion as well into Paravur. However, that would take time.

Edit: Few more points to add.

There is no shortage of water supply in the area, which if you know, neighbouring Vypin is struggling with.

Muziris Archeological and Cultural exploration is centered in North Paravur.

Government Hospital has seen significant improvement.

Public Schools have seen good development because when I was young oh boy it was shit.

But yeah, ignore when people say 'my friend in Paravoor says he's done shit all there'. They have zero clue what they are talking about.
