The story so far:
On August 21, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan declared Kerala as the first fully digitally literate State in India, marking the completion of the first phase of the ‘Digi Kerala’ digital literacy programme, a grass-root level intervention across all local self-government bodies with an aim to bridge the digital divide. According to the Local Self Government Department, a total of 21.87 lakh people who were identified as “digitally illiterate” in a ground-level survey had successfully completed the training programme as well as cleared the evaluation.
