Andhra Pradesh to order 10,000 Aakash tablets to promote e-learning

The Aakash has been getting mixed reactions lately. Although, there are a few alternatives to Aakash available in the market as we suggested earlier, no tablet can beat the price (yet), especially the subsidized Rs. 1500 mark. The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to arm its students with the tablet. A proposal has been sent by the state government to the Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry. On approval, AP plans to order 10,000 tablets. The first phase would reach out to state universities, engineering and polytechnic colleges, while the next is expected to reach students of private colleges.
