A year-long intensive grass-roots-level programme to equip every resident of Pullampara grama panchayat be digital-savvy culminated on Wednesday in the declaration of the local body as a 'fully digitally literate' panchayat. Making the declaration, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said Pullampara, in Thiruvananthapuram, has become a model for all the panchayats in the country and has shown a new path in the State's quest to become a knowledge economy.
The plans to impart digital literacy to all residents of the panchayats under the Digi Pullampara project began in August last year under a five-member core team led by panchayat president P.V. Rajesh and comprising district women welfare officer Sajina Sathar, MGNREGS district engineer Dinesh Pappen, KAS trainee Sanob S. and technical education department employee Shamnad.
