The government is now taking away responsibility of the procurement of the Aakash tablets from IIT-Rajasthan and DataWind was given extension only till March. Presently IIT-Rajasthan and DataWind has already delayed the supply of the Aakash tablet. Now Government is planning to engage three more IITs in the Aakash tablet project.
IIT-Rajasthan, IIT-Mumbai and IIT-Kanpur are likely to be involved in the project. According to reports the HRD ministry and Department of IT met and discuss the matter. The officials stressed on making the device more Indian, as most of the components in the existing Aakash tablet are sourced from abroad. The plan is to make the device at least 90 per cent Indian by 2014. A special emphasis will be made on lowering the price of the Aakash tablet. Currently, the government is providing the Aakash tablet at a subsidised price of Rs. 1,100.
