Hyderabad, August 26: In a move to bridge the digital divide the government was working to develop laptops costing as low as $ 10, Union Minister of State for Human Resource Development D Purandeswari said here today.
“To ensure that students have access to computers, the government is studying the feasibility of developing laptops which would cost not more than 10 dollars.
“Though it represented a huge technological challenge, India possesses the capability to overcome it. It was the dream of Ratan Tata to provide an affordable car to people at Rs 1 lakh, and he did it. We need to put our heads together and ensure that every child in the country has access to an affordable laptop,’’ she said.
