India's subsidized Aakash tablet could soon be free for students

India's subsidized Aakash tablet could soon be free for students

The government subsidized Aakash tablet has quickly caught on in India, selling like hotcakes in no small part thanks to its low cost. Currently priced around $60, the goal is to eventually bring the tablet down to $35 with additional government money, but some are eying a much lower target. Kapil Sibal, India's minister of Human Resource Development, wants educational institutions to chip in and help provide students with the Aakash free of charge. The way he sees it, the government will front half the bill with schools footing the remainder.
