Nicholas Negroponte's now-familiar OLPC (one laptop per child) initiative to bring technology to the children in poverty-struck areas has now reached India in collaboration with the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group (RADAG). The pilot, priced at $180 (or Rs. 7,000) will go to a tribal village at Khairat, near Karjat, Maharashtra. "Reliance Communications will provide internet connectivity, network backbone, logistic and support to the OLPC initiative in India, using its network that would cover over 25,000 towns and 6,00,000 Indian villages by March 2008."
