<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Introduction & Need for this
project. </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Indian government schools the computer education level is
very low and in its infancy. Hence before making a full fledged initiative to
bring OLPC concept to implementation it is essential to first bring the OLPC
computer centers in schools for gaining acceptance and to make the students
familiar about its operation and functions. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With this purpose the idea of OLPC computer centers is
proposed. This will be a very cost effective alternative for the government
schools also. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">10 to 40 pieces per school will suite the purpose. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hence this will familiarize the students how to use this
device for children and then gradually promote it for students in a big scale
on per student basic. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Delhi Government has a sanctioned budget of 500 crore
rupees by the central government for computer education. In Delhi. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This alternative and subsequent maintenance of OLPC
computers by OLPC and Govt of India under a joint venture will be a big cost
saving initiative for government and schools. Many other Central Government
Institutes can be moved in to partner. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are also looking forward to develop low cost PC and lap
tops with the same OLPC<span style=""> </span>products
technologies. This will reduce the cost of computers if manufactured in India. A joint
venture manufacturing of OLPC products with Govt of India funds and Christian
funds with a Christian management is also being considered by Churches in India
. Church is interested in a church brand of low cost computers and laptops. The
church schools are ready to give place and our Bishop in Delhi Vincent
Concessao<span style=""> </span>and YMCA – Delhi is also ready to consider our request. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A company by name Taking IT Global is also showing Interest
. <a href="http://www.tigweb.org/about/">http://www.tigweb.org/about/</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We request the OLPC to move this project with all relevant
details from the USA
office directly since politics and sabotage is very high. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shri Kapil Sibal is a very learned man and Harvard law
school product and will understand the advantage. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to volunteer for this project and assist to
further develop and negotiate with the minister’s office if needed and
designated. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However an official proposal from OLPC through the American
Embassy would be good. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Note: It is very vital that USA
institutions participate with Government institutions in India since the communal elements in India are using
the government institutions against the ruling congress party and against the
Christians also. USA
based organizations are preferred here due to the good management and
technology. <span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span></p>
