IT IS A VISIONARY STEP OF MR. DHANDA
This is an interesting scheme offered by the Govt of Punjab.
However, would have been more valuable if students are provided computer training that would assist them in getting employment and a better economic opportunity.
Cisco has been partnering with over 25 state/UT governments since the past 8 years in offering the Cisco Networking Academy (www.cisco.com/asiapac/academy) that teaches students networking and other information technology-related skills, preparing them for jobs as well as for higher education in the new knowledge economy fields.
Such efforts should be lauded by one and all of the ICT4D community as it would go a long way in bridging the digital divide and perhaps more importantly instilling in wider populace the belief that computers are not an elitist thing at all and they would also feel part of the growing e-literates army of India who could occupy the next seats in Infosys and all other big MNCs. More state governments should follow suit and perhaps Punjab can usher in a new Blue revolution.
