Kerala Sets a New Benchmark: From Total Literacy to Total Digital Literacy

Kerala has once again demonstrated its commitment to social progress, making history by becoming the first state in India to achieve complete digital literacy. This remarkable milestone, announced by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, is a testament to the power of community-driven initiatives and inclusive governance.

The journey began with the “Digi Keralam” project, a grassroots effort inspired by the success of the Pullampara panchayat, which became India’s first fully digitally literate panchayat. The project’s core objective was simple yet profound: to empower every citizen to navigate the digital world with confidence and to bridge the digital divide.

This achievement goes beyond a mere statistic; it is a story of empowerment and resilience. By equipping its citizens with essential digital skills, Kerala is laying a strong foundation for a knowledge-based economy and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate in the digital age.

This initiative sets a powerful precedent for other states and nations, highlighting how a focused, inclusive, and community-led approach can lead to monumental social transformation. It’s a true “Kerala Model” that the world can emulate.
