India’s First Fully Digital State

In 2016, President Pranab Mukherjee declared Kerala as the first digital state of the country. And now in 2020, as the world stays indoors due to the global Coronavirus, Kerala has transitioned to digital mode without too many glitches and snares.

Why is Kerala the first digital state?

The factors that made Kerala emerge on the top according to the data in 2016 states these reasons:

• Kerala has achieved 100 % mobile connectivity and 75 % Internet literacy in the past few years
• The state has the highest record of digital banking, bank accounts linked to Aadhar card and e-governance
• Broadband connectivity has been distributed even in the Panchayat level
• Kerala is the first state to successfully link its villages with broadband connectivity under the National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) program
• Apart from the NOFN program, the state government had also started two digital projects — Akshaya and IT@School — in 2002
• There are more than 2,500 Akshaya centres in rural and urban areas in the state, which help to generate awareness about e-governance and digital connectivity
• Over 600 e-governance applications cover almost all departments of the state
• Kerala has a mobile coverage of 95 percent and Internet access to over 60 percent of its total population – the highest among all the 29 states.
