Kerala to launch total digital literacy campaign

Kerala proposes to launch a total digital literacy campaign with a view to ensuring that the gains made by it through its transformation as an inclusive knowledge-based society, percolate down to the grass roots level.

Titled ‘I am also digital,’ the campaign is being powered by the Kerala State IT Mission under the Department of Information Technology, and the Kerala Literacy Mission. It will be rolled out in the people’s participatory model by roping in resource persons and instructors from within the society.

The campaign aims at building the capacity of the society to be able to enjoy benefits of the digital technology, and educating the public about cyber security issues. It will seek to create awareness about e-governance and equip it to make use of various digital platforms through which services are delivered.
