How do you explain that ivermectin went large scale in August 2020 previously and then the spike in April 2021?

The state Health Department introduced Ivermectin as prophylaxis for close contacts of Covid patients, health workers as well as for the treatment of the patients themselves through a government order on August 6, 2020, after a committee headed by the Director General, Medical and Health Services, gave it the go ahead.

Your qouting the Kerala State (Richest) Health Minister :all states were well under way in APRIL /MAY & No metion of "F" Vaccines

With a population of approximately 36 million, Kerala represents one of India’s wealthiest, boasting the highest human development index in the nation of 1.4 billion people.

On April 25, 2021, Kerala’s government modified their CV-19 treatment guidelines.^[6] The document recommended ivermectin to treat (late) patients with shortness of breath or comorbidities. The guide also introduced budesonide to treat patients if symptoms persist for over 5 days. Kerala’s government changed the protocol again on August 6. The document dropped ivermectin and introduced monoclonal antibodies to treat high-risk patients.^[7] But until now no systematic review of the results was available.

“Uttar Pradesh was the first state in the country to introduce large-scale prophylactic and therapeutic use of Ivermectin. In May-June 2020, a team at Agra, led by Dr Anshul Pareek, administered Ivermectin to all RRT team members in the district on an experimental basis. It was observed that none of them developed Covid-19 despite being in daily contact with patients who had tested positive for the virus,” Uttar Pradesh State Surveillance Officer Vikssendu Agrawal said.

India’s strategy is not a secret. In fact, at least part of the protocol of turnaround became a public facing document in the form of a new national treatment protocol. Publicized in late April 2021 by the Minister of Health and other health authorities the guidelines can still be observed via the Minister of Health website. India’s latest protocol comprises the use of ivermectin and inhaled budesonide as early treatment. Most states embraced the new protocol, with a few opting for other approaches. ^[1]
