We do realise that micro-deployments do not solve the problem but they
do add to the effort, but it will help a few teachers and a few policy
makers and a few educationists realise the need to scale it up.   We
did call for more help, more funds so that all the 200 students in the
school get one laptop each.

We need to find enough resources to get a laptop to every student of a
school.  I am sure Prakash and his colleagues are working on this
objective, and will be fulfilled very soon.

Prakash, if you could organize with the help of Swecha group a
workshop for translation of the interface, you will be able to finish
most of the activities and the workplace.
