Mind Shift 360 – Digital Literacy Program single
The document presents a one‑year, state‑wide community digital‑wellbeing and literacy mission for Kerala, designed by the Preventia Welfare Foundation. It expands traditional digital literacy (access and basic skills) into a four‑pillar framework that targets digital finance safety, social‑media influence, digital addiction, and digital detox. The programme aims to create a digitally empowered, financially safe, and psychologically resilient population through a scientifically informed, practical‑psychology (Mind Shift 360) approach. Implementation is planned via Kerala’s Local Self‑Government Institutions using a cascade training model (master trainers → district → local coordinators → volunteers → citizens). The proposal details a phased action plan (preparation, pilot, district rollout, intensive implementation, evaluation), a dedicated mobile/web platform for registration, assessments, learning modules, and progress dashboards, and a privacy‑by‑design data policy. It defines target audiences (students, parents, working professionals, senior citizens, communities), outlines behavioural principles (STOP‑CHECK‑VERIFY‑ACT, pause‑regulate‑decide), provides a multidimensional digital‑wellbeing assessment framework, lists KPIs across reach, knowledge, and behavioural outcomes, and suggests public‑campaign messaging (SMART PHONE • SMART MONEY • SMART MIND • SMART KERALA; “Use Digital. Don’t Let Digital Use You”). The proposal positions the programme as the next evolution of Kerala’s digital initiatives, moving from access/literacy to safety, wellbeing, and responsible digital citizenship.
