• 15,000 schools are proposed to be covered in next 3 years
• Each school is expected to have 6 to 8 computers
• e-Lessons on Compact Discs• Children studying in Grade 6 to 10 are expected
to use the facility

Proposed Business ModelProposed Business Model
• INR 1 per student per day to the entrepreneur• Expected Average Income per school per
annum– 200 students x 200 working days = 40,000
• INR 200 per annum is big money for villagers and hence may not be able to pay
• Funds need to be pumped in both by the Govt. and other agencies to run the programme

Proposal• Install 2 to 3 machines per school (5000 schools
in the first year)• Education content provided by NIIT and Others• Expenses expected to be met from the fee paid
by the students• Profits to be made through following facilities
– Internet– DTP– e-mail

ConclusionConclusion
• ICT is important for overall development for 3rd world countries
• Government cannot invest too much in ICT as there other fields like– Agriculture– Power– Water (Irrigation and Drinking)
• A low cost computing platform with GNU/Linux Operating System is the only solution
