The beginning of the Akshaya project was very interesting and accidental. This is the only project of its kind initiated by a local self-governing body. 60 lakhs was sanctioned by the District Panchayat Malappuram in the plan year 2002-2003 for undertaking a complete computer literacy program in the district. Kerala State IT Mission has been approached for help in implementing the project. The IT Mission has formulated a policy fulfilling the requirements of the Computer Literacy Programme. The Akshaya project started as a pilot in Malappuram in 2002 and today it has spread to all the districts of Kerala and Akshaya has won many projects, activities and awards. Today there are around 350 Akshaya Kendras in Malappuram district. Akshaya Kendras providing the best service and three Akshaya Kendras which have got ISO Certified are functioning in the district.
