The '$10, world's cheapest laptop', developed in India has been given a quiet burial with the government placing an order for 250,000 XO laptops from the Nicholas Negroponte-led One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Foundation.
The $10 'laptop' had turned into a major bone of contention with the global IT industry and experts blasting the device that was earlier projected as a challenger to the $100 laptop of the OLPC project.
Meanwhile, Satish Jha, OLPC India president and CEO, was quoted in the media as saying that the OLPC XO laptops "have been ordered for 1,500 schools (throughout the country) and the deliveries will begin in June."
Now lets have a look on the fake scheme of government ignoring the below key points:
This is one of the biggest fraud waiting to come.
1. Whats point in procuring laptop for schoolkids when p[rimary education DO NOT need any computer / laptop.
2. If at all laptops are baught, which operaing system it will work on? Who will pay license fee?
3. WHat applications will be there on laptop for use ? WHat value will they add ?
4. If procured, how distribution will take place? Why only 1500 schools, what about other thousands of schools?
5. We dont give funds for primary education to rural areas. Why waste funds for unnecessary laptops in urban areas?
This is just to eat commission. FRAUD. FRAUD. FRAUD. FRAUD.
