Initiated in 2002 under Public Private Partnership, Akshaya Telecentres are the common access points for the Information and communications services offered by Government of Kerala. It was established with an objective of bridging the digital divide, starting from the most basic level of administration, the panchayaths. One among its key objectives is to have at least one ICT literate member per household who can access public services and information easily. The present study was an attempt to compare the number of Akshaya centres on the basis of Panchayath size and Districts. The study could bring out that the sanctioning of Akshaya centres in a Panchayath is based on the size of the Panchayath in all the Districts.
