To make studies convenient and affordable, the Union Ministry of Human Resources has decided to provide Aakash Tablet to college students for a mere Rs 1,138. The Ministry has sought lists of students from colleges in the state who desire to purchase these Tablets.
The market price of Aakash is otherwise Rs 2,276. Aakash is the world's lowest priced touch-screen device, which will help students to use Internet for higher studies.
Satinder Kaur, Principal of Government Bikram College of Commerce, said they had already started preparing a list of students who were willing to buy the tablet. "It is a very sophisticated and yet very affordable device. Students will now no longer have to pool in thousands of rupees for buying desktops or laptops," she added.
Appreciating the scheme, students say that it would make studies easier for them. "Internet has become a necessity these days. It is easier to search various topics on Internet rather than going through various books. I often have to visit cyber cafes to study various course related topics, as I could not afford to buy a laptop. I am glad that now I will be able to possess Aakash and use it as per my requirements," said Geeta, a BCom student from Khalsa College.
