Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday declared Kerala as the first fully digitally literate State in India, marking the completion of the first phase of the Digi Kerala project, a grass-root level intervention across all local bodies to bridge the digital divide.

Following the formal declaration, Mr. Vijayan interacted on a video call with 104-year old M.A. Abdullah Moulavi Baqavi from Asamannoor panchayat in Ernakulam district, one of the oldest ‘students’ who were trained under the Digi Kerala project.
