The E-Keralam Project, launched by Kerala State Rutronix under the Department of Industries and Commerce and the Khadi and Village Industries Board, is part of the Kerala Government's 100-Day Action Plan aimed at building a digitally empowered society. Guided by Government Order G.O.(Rt) No.1103/2020/ID dated 24/12/2020, the project promotes digital literacy through training at panchayat and school levels and supports small-scale entrepreneurs in adopting digital tools for business and livelihood enhancement. With the "Digital Seva Kendra" initiative, it’s creating a cutting-edge digital ecosystem that connects everyone—citizens, students, small businesses, and senior citizens—empowering women, fueling innovation, and driving Kerala’s socio-economic progress into the future.
The E-Keralam project will be implemented by identifying and empowering women entrepreneurs with an interest in digital technology and entrepreneurship. The first phase aims to establish 1,000 Digital Seva Kendras across Kerala, strategically positioned within a three-kilometer radius to ensure inclusive access to digital services. These centers will function as one-stop digital service hubs and are expected to generate approximately 5,000 employment opportunities.
