'Akshaya' project
-----------------

Reports in the mainstream press say India's 'Akshaya' project plans to set
up some 9,000 community information centres across Kerala as part of a
campaign to bridge the digital divide. 

These centres are to be established through private initiative, with the
objective of having one centre within two km of each household. The project
would commence in Malappuram and Thiruvananthapuram in January 2003 and the
entire State is proposed to be covered by May 2004.
