Abstract

Akshaya is the telecentre-based e-Governance project in Kerala. It is well known as an ICTD initiative for bridging the digital divide by simultaneously addressing the issues of access, skills and content (www. akshaya.net). Launched in November 2002, Akshaya began as a pilot project with 630 kiosks in the Malappuram district of Kerala (Madon, 2009) and was subsequently rolled out in other districts. The network is coordinated by a state-level government agency called the Kerala State Information Technology Mission (KSITM). Private entrepreneurs own and manage the individual Akshaya e-Kendras. This case study is based on the Akshaya e-Kendra located at Ariyallur Junction in Vallikkunnu panchayat of Malappuram district, Kerala.
