People, including 103-year-old Karunakara Panicker and 104-year-old MA Abdullah Maulavi Bafaqi, have become digitally literate in Kerala. Panicker and his 74-year-old son, once hesitant to touch a touchscreen, now watch the news on their phones. The phone knowledge of Abdullah, who only used to make calls on his Nokia handset, changed when the government's DigiKerala volunteers reached out to him.
