Preparatory to the visit of the US President Obama, the White House is sending a technology delegation to India.<br><br>The US Federal CTO has been in touch with the head of OLPC India for a few years and will be leading the delegation and there is an opportunity to make OLPC an important touch-point of the US President's visit.<br><br>The delegation has shown keen interest in OLPC deployment in India and would like to know how any investment made in education through OLPC will be able to help India better than other competing options.<br><br>It will be great if you may point out to the relevant literature with compelling arguments based on studies, pilots, achievements or anything you may deem appropriate for executive attention to make a case for OLPC in both urban and rural India.<br><br>Time is short as the delegation may be here in a couple weeks and it will be a great help to have your suggestions at your earliest.<br><br><div>Sincerely,<BR>
S Adhikari<BR></div><br><br> </body>
