Akshaya

The Akshaya project was launched in 2002 in Kerala, India to bridge the digital divide and empower citizens through information and communication technologies. It created the largest known IP-based wireless network and aimed to make at least one person in each family e-literate. The project opened opportunities for women's participation and made many government services accessible online to citizens across the state. It has since expanded statewide and achieved major milestones like enrolling over 1.6 crore citizens for UID and registering 35 lakhs families for health insurance through Akshaya centers.
