Last year, One Laptop Per Child Organization submitted a proposal to the Indian government under which the group would have worked to produce laptops for Indian students starting at $100.

Now forget the one hundred dollar laptop. India has bigger, but cheaper plans. Ten times cheaper, that is $10(around Rs: 400). India’s Ministry of Human Resource Development is spearheading the project, with help from Semiconductor Complex, a state-sponsored designer and manufacturer of integrated circuits. Officials from those organizations are presently weighing system designs submitted by an engineering student from India’s Vellore Institute of Technology and a researcher from the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, Indian Institute of Technology in Madras.

The laptop, when produced, will prove to be a breakthrough device that could solve the problems of low computer literacy and e-learning not only in India, but also the world over.
