Kerala has achieved the distinction of becoming India’s first digital state and rightfully so, since it began way before everyone else. Being the early bird, in 2002, it launched two breakthrough projects in e-literacy - the Akshaya Project with the objective of making at least one person in every family e-literate and the IT@school project, which aimed at providing basic computer knowledge to every high school student.
