Soon afterwards, political parties, individuals, NRIs, businessmen and film stars succeeded in bridging the digital divide, donating smart TV sets, mobile phones and tablets. The Kannur unit of the SFI, the CPM’s student arm, launched a drive to collect smart TV sets for poor students. “We bought 50 TV sets and got a lot more from my friends. “Our only regret is that the government left it to the people to provide TV sets. Anyway, all the political parties joined hands to bridge the digital divide in Kerala.”
