On August 21, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan declared Kerala as the first fully digitally literate State in India, marking the completion of the first phase of the ‘Digi Kerala’ digital literacy programme, a grass-root level intervention across all local self-government bodies with an aim to bridge the digital divide.
The year 2025 will remain as a momentous chapter in Kerala’s contemporary history, marked by political churn, profound losses, environmental challenges, and notable social and cultural milestones.
From shipwrecks and marine pollution to highway collapses and public health scares, questions of environmental sustainability, disaster preparedness, and development priorities came sharply into focus. At the same time, Kerala pushed ahead with ambitious economic and industrial initiatives, seeking investments, exports, and technology-driven growth, while grappling with controversies that accompanied rapid change.
Together, these events capture a year of transition.
