Malappuram drops purdah to climb up the e-learning curve - M SARITA VARMA, Financial Express of India
Muslim-dominated Malappuram is high on population and low in literacy. Half of it seems to live on Gulf remittances, the other half in poverty.... It is this district that has lifted the purdah for its first steps up the e-learning curve. About 560 e-centres dot the hills, with 4,000 PCs and scanners. Malappuram lays claim to being the world’s first rural district to achieve 100 per cent household e-literacy (one computer-literate person per family).
