    The Pratham's Annual Status of Education Report for 2017 found that the southern state of Kerala had far greater access to digital technologies in rural areas based on a sample district, while West Bengal, located in the east, had very low access to the internet, computers, and mobile phones for rural youth according to a district sample. The report focused on the digital access of rural youth aged 14 to 18 in 28 districts across 24 states in India, finding differences between states that could indicate the south's leadership and the east's shortcomings in rural digital access, though the patterns may not apply to all districts.

    Pratham’s Annual Status of Education Report, 2017

     The southern State of Kerala seems far ahead of all Indian States in breaching the digital divide, if
    the data generated by Pratham’s Annual Status of Education Report, 2017, for its sample district of
    Ernakulam are to be believed.

     And the eastern State of West Bengal seems right at the bottom in terms of the rural youth’s
    access to the Internet, computers and mobiles, as per data generated from its South 24 Parganas
    district.

     Even as the government looks at ushering in a Digital India, ASER 2017 offers a snapshot into how
    different States are faring in breaching the digital divide, by focusing on rural youth in the 14-18
    age group in 28 rural districts across 24 States in India.

     The patterns may not hold true or all districts in particular States, but may be a pointer to the
    south’s lead and the eastern States’ backwardness in rural digital access.
