One Laptop Per Child has revealed that they are working on deals to sell around 1 million units of their current generation XO Laptop in the Indian market.
The laptop is designed to be used by school going children and it comes preloaded with educational material.
The device is being offered for Rs. 15000 per unit which is slightly more than what it costs in the US market.
OLPC India Foundation spoke about the new developments: “The momentum has just begun in India. We are targeting government primary schools as illiteracy in the country is in the level of primary schools”.
It added: “The Gujarat government had placed an order for 350,000 units recently. Andhra Pradesh has evinced interest in the product and we will be meeting the government officials shortly. Our India plans are what the state governments want.”
