Kerala has been declared India’s first fully digitally literate state after successfully completing Phase I of the Digi Kerala project. The initiative reached 1.5 crore individuals across 83.46 lakh families, identifying 21.88 lakh digitally illiterate persons and training 21.87 lakh of them with a remarkable 99.98% success rate. What makes this achievement historic is the inclusiveness of the program, ensuring participation across age groups, including a 104-year-old trainee. By leveraging grassroots governance and community-led training, Kerala has empowered its citizens to access e-governance portals, welfare schemes, and digital financial services, effectively bridging the digital divide.
