Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan declared the southern state as India's first fully e-governed state where an entire range of government services have been digitised so that they can be provided to the citizens promptly and transparently.
The Chief Minister, after declaring the state as totally e-governed, said it would not only create a network of government offices and citizens, but would use technology for Kerala's development and empower the people by bridging the digital divide.
This achievement has been achieved through a single window service delivery mechanism called 'e-Sevanam'. Apart from the 'eSevanam' portal, the Kerala IT Mission has also created 'e-Office File Flow', a set of digital platforms and applications. So that it can be taken up to the village office level.
It is also the first Indian state to declare access to the Internet as a citizen's right through the roll-out of the KFON (Kerala Fiber Optic Network).
