An e-literate citizenry is a key component of a sucessful e-governance strategy. The first step in taking ICT to the masses has been rolled-out in Kerala. As a part of this initiative, at least one person in each of the 65 lakh families in the State will be made IT-literate. This project, piloted in one of the backward districts - Malappuram - has evolved into one of the most dynamic interventions in public-private-partnerships in the State.
