Computer for $35 a reality in India now
Prashant K. Nanda, prashant.n@livemint.com
University students will be able to buy computers with basic facilities for just $35 (around Rs1,655) from next year, with a **********-run project developing the device to boost the role of technology in education.“Initially we will produce one million such computers for students in higher education, and the capacity will be enhanced subsequently,” human resource development (HRD) minister Kapil Sibal said on Thursday, while unveiling the device.
The computer has been developed by students and scientists from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) at Kanpur, Chennai, Mumbai and Kharagpur, and the Indian Institute of Science (IIsc), Bangalore, in collaboration with the **********-run National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology.
This is the first tangible success for the **********’s long-running efforts to provide cheap computers to students. Five years ago, US-based One Laptop Per Child Association Inc. offered computers produced by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at $100 in India, as part of a mission to provide affordable educational computers across the developing world.
But the HRD ministry refused, and a year later vowed to produce computers that could be sold for as low as $10. Last year it designed an incomplete device that had no screeen of its own. Its cost was pegged at $60, and the ministry did not produce it on a mass scale.
N.K. Sinha, joint secretary in the HRD ministry, under whose supervision the project is going on, said efforts will continue to bring the cost of the computers down to $10.
The 8.9x7-inch device, weighing 1.5kg, is not as advanced as a modern-day personal computer, but it will have all the basic facilities needed by students. These include support for video Web conferencing, a multimedia content viewer, PDF reader, unzip tool, computing programmes such as Open Office, wireless communication for audio, video and multimedia, an input-output interface option for allowing IPTV, digital TV and media players, among other things.
“Think of a cheap computer with students of remote colleges. The ********** is connecting all colleges with broadband and this computer will be a boon for them. They can download education materials, IIT lectures available for free and many more study materials,” said H.P. Khincha, a professor at IISc, Bangalore.
R.P. Aggarwal, chairman, board of governors, IIT, Delhi, also said rural students will benefit the most.
Sinha said mass production will begin in three months. “Initially the production will happen out of India but it will be shifted back to the country after few months,” he said.
An official, on condition of anonymity, said initial production will take place in Taiwan. Another official said the ********** may eventually provide it in schools, too, before thinking of making it commercially available.

不清楚 cpu 是否"完全自主知识产权"印度造。
不清楚是否 印度 山寨货。
华强北 说不定有价格更有竞争力机机。
