A laptop for $ 10!

HYDERABAD: In a move to bridge the digital divide the government was working to develop laptops costing as low as $ 10, Union Minister of State for Human Resource Development
D Purandeswari said here today.

``To ensure that students have access to computers, the government is studying the feasibility of developing laptops which would cost not more than 10 dollars.

``Though it represented a huge technological challenge, India possesses the capability to overcome it. It was the dream of Ratan Tata to provide an affordable car to people at Rs 1 lakh, and he did it. We need to put our heads together and ensure that every child in the country has access to an affordable laptop,’’ she said.
