Kerala is the first in the country in providing laptops, internet and notebooks to students in schools.
These figures have come out in a study conducted based on the Unified District Information System for Education under the Central Human Resource Department for the year 2021-2022.
89% of schools in Kerala have a functional laptop or notebook. All the celebrated 'model' states are far behind Kerala in this regard as well.
It is only 8.5% in UP, which some suggest as a model.
Schools in Kerala have not only digital devices, but also good classrooms, water and light, playgrounds, labs, libraries and fast internet.
Our society thinks that 'everything good is for unnies'. Our government's major investment is in schools, where our people build their future.
This is how our beloved Kerala has become when some people mock it as 'Kherala' and others as 'Cubala'.
