The launch of the world’s most affordable tablet, the Aakash 2 has been delayed, yet again. This bit of an update will come in as a disappointment to those who had pinned their hopes on it, ever since reports confirming a May-end launch first surfaced.

The HRD minister who has been the force behind the nation’s ambitious project, had assured the public of the above stated timeline.
