Aakash 2: CMs of All States in India Might Receive Low Cost Tablet for Feedback

In the last week, Kapil Sibal, the Communications Minister of the country presented two units of the upgraded Aakash 2 tablet to the CM of Gujarat, Narendra Modi.

Now, the ministry is reportedly planning to send out the Aakash 2 tablets to the Chief Ministers of all the states. This strange move is an attempt taken by the government to collect the feedback about the low cost tablet.

Aajash tablet is the attempt made by the company in the segment of low cost computing to ensure the students in the country receive quality education.

Reportedly, the units of the upgraded version of the Aakash tablet that the HRD Ministry had sent over, came back undelivered.

Moreover, there are talks across the country that the tablets were sent to Narendra Modi in order to bribe him. Hence, the ministry is planning to send the tablets to all the CMs in the country and get feedback from them.
