22. 35$ per student by the government seems to be a great investment
Given that without such subsidized products millions of Indian School kids might not be able to afford a computer or to browse the net.


This initiative(if it works out as planned) is a very smart thing to do...for any government...because the Best investment any country can make, is on education, because with an educated workforce this paltry sum spent on each child would pay dividends orders of magnitude larger.
