Kerala declared India’s first fully digitally literate State:

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced on Thursday that Kerala has become the first Indian state to achieve full digital literacy, marking the successful completion of the first phase of the Digi Kerala project. The initiative, implemented across all local bodies, was aimed at bridging the digital divide at the grassroots level. Out of 1.5 crore people surveyed across 83.46 lakh households, 21.88 lakh were found to be digitally illiterate. Remarkably, 21.87 lakh of them (99.98%) completed training and assessments successfully. During the event, Mr. Vijayan also interacted via video call with 104-year-old M.A. Abdullah Moulavi Baqavi from Ernakulam, one of the project’s oldest trainees.
