SAKSHAT INDIA'S CHEAPEST TABLET 2011

India released a Rs.1,500 ($30) laptop / Tablet PC for
students and teachers in colleges and Universities. The
device is currently not available for sale in the market as
government has decided to launch it for students in 2011.
The year 2011 would be a technologically effective one as
the once high priced laptops are getting low in their price.
This laptop would bring the buyer, savings up to 50
percent.
According to reports, it is clear that the laptops would see
a noticeable fall in their price which would be lesser by
Rs.4800. National Mission on Education through
Information and Communication Technology is
supporting this project to enlighten the more and more
students. There may be many methods to spread
education but this one would prove to be an innovative
style of imparting knowledge.
The education which would touch the lives of every
student through this mode of technology would be
possible easily. Thus, these laptops would be available at
lesser cost. This style is meant to edify the large
population to widen the horizon of knowledge among all
in every aspect of life. This project has plans to sell the
laptops at remarkably lesser rate.
As a part of India's National Mission for Education,
Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) 504
universities and 25,000 colleges countrywide would be the
recipients of these laptops.
This project was the outcome of experts coming together.
The IT specialists came up with this idea at the Indian
Institute of Science, Bangalore, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur,
IIT Madras and IIT Bombay. These laptops are going to be
given out by HRD ministry. It is being considered that
these laptops would prove to be an asset for the students
and will give them opportunity to excel in education.
By 2011, the newbies who wish to try their hands on
computers would get funding of 50 percent on the
purchase of each product. The Government of India has
planned to reduce the price of the computer by Rs.4800.
This initiative is undertaken as an element of National
Mission on Education through Information and
Communication Technology. It is an effort to offer the high
definition interactive education.
The Centre purports that these laptops would be offered at
such a low price because they are a source of spreading
literacy via technological methods. This mode of
education would help create the awareness among the
masses. The laptops are really going to see a huge drop in
price.
Under the National Mission on Education through
Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT),
connectivity is projected to be offered to 504 universities
and 25,000 colleges throughout India.
This project was a result of discussions on this project
with a group of experts at the Indian Institute of Science,
Bangalore, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras and IIT
Bombay by the human resource development ministry.
The human resource development ministry would send
out these laptops. This product is expected to bring bright
prospect for learners.
Initially, when the low priced laptop were being planned
to introduce, the officials ruled out that its price would be
around Rs.500. But, now it would be almost three times
the price that was estimated earlier.
The project of launching this product is running
successfully and it would be available to students,
about after five to six months. It is been reported that
this low cost laptop would be low in price but the final
price of the product would be determined depending
upon the transportation cost.
The Rs.1500 Laptop would be seeing a great deal of
success and the expectations are already high that this
would be popular. The launching this laptop at Rs.1500 is
seen as one of the major steps which would be taken to
brighten the future of Indian students.
