With the aim to declare Kerala a fully digitally literate State on November 1, the Local self government department has formed committees to monitor the progress of the ‘Digi Kerala’ digital literacy programme.
The programme, which envisages to equip people from all sections to handle digital technology and carry out the basic tasks, is being carried out in a similar pattern to the literacy campaign witnessed in the State in the late 1980s. The Minister for Local Self governments will head the State-level monitoring committee, which will have the Principal director of the department as the convener.
Last year, a pilot digital literacy programme was completed successfully in the Pullampara panchayat in Thiruvananthapuram.
