While making arrangements to launch the 35 Dollor Sakshat Laptop, now the Indian government is getting ready to step forward to launch a brand new pilot scheme. To educate the people of rural areas, they are going to provide the rented computers on per day basis.
The program will be launched by the Ministry of IT and Communications and plans are to install computers in five locations that will then be rented out to citizens.
One of the senior official at the ministry said, "The cost may vary from Rs.15-20 per day. This model may remove the hindrance of affordability in buying computers. We are talking to various companies like Intel, HCL Infosystems and One Laptop Per Child Project. Total cost of the entire project is expected to be closer to 45 Lakhs.
But this is not much fare to talk about, because if at all the rural citizens are educated then we think of computer literacy to them. But even before the complete growth of literacy rate, our government is trying to do something ridiculous. We hope the government will concentrate on the literacy first and then computer literacy.
