Kerala first state to achieve Digital Literacy

Context

Kerala became the first state in India to achieve total digital literacy. This milestone was achieved through the ‘Digi Kerala’ initiative, implemented by the Local Self-Government (LSG) department.

What is Digital Literacy?

Digital Literacy refers to the “The ability of individuals and communities to understand and use digital technologies for meaningful actions within life situations.”
It goes beyond just being able to use a computer or smartphone; it involves the ability to use the internet for various purposes such as communication, accessing government services, online banking, and using social media responsibly.

Government’s Key Initiatives to Improve Digital Literacy:

National Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM): The NDLM is a national government program aimed at enhancing digital literacy across India, particularly targeting rural and underprivileged populations. The mission provides training for basic digital skills, focusing on using the internet, mobile devices, and applications for financial inclusion, accessing government services, and improving livelihoods.
PMGDISHA (Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyan): Launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), this scheme aims to digitally empower rural people by providing them with digital literacy.
Digital India Programme: The Digital India initiative, launched in 2015, aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. The program covers a broad range of areas, from improving internet connectivity to enhancing e-governance, digital infrastructure, and digital literacy.
Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (DISHA): Under the DISHA initiative, the government partners with various stakeholders, including NGOs, academic institutions, and private organizations, to promote skill development & digital literacy in India.
National Digital Library of India (NDLI): The NDLI is a digital repository of learning resources that provides access to a vast collection of e-books, e-journals, and other educational materials.
