  • The Kerala government Monday (June 5) officially launched the Kerala Fibre Optical Network (KFON), one of its flagship projects envisaged during the first term of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
  • Through KFON, Kerala, which was the first state to declare the right to internet as a basic right, aims to reduce the digital divide by ensuring high speed broadband internet access to all houses and government offices. 
  • It is also intended to give a fillip to e-governance and accelerate Kerala’s journey towards being a knowledge-based economy.
  • KFON is an optical fibre cable network of 30,000 kms, with 375 Points-of-Presence across Kerala.
