Aakash Tablet Pricing

When the first Low Cost Access cum Computing Device was unveiled by name of Sakshat Tablet, Govt had aimed to provide the device at the cost of $35. But Aakash will cost the government around $49 (inclusive of all taxes etc) approximately Rs. 2,276 according to exchange rate of that time.

It will be given to students after subsidizing the price by up to 50 percent. In the first phase as pilot project 100,000 devices will be provided then based on the feedback of different climate condition etc.. the device will be manufactured in mass increasing features and reducing the cost.

 NIT Raipur. Students of other colleges like Bhilai Institute of Technolgy are also very  much interested to own this tablet. Let's See when will BIT Durg get Aakash Tablet PC, most probably it will be listed in the next phase of the project.
