Governments should NOT pick winners. They should not supply things which private individuals, in their own self-interest, can readily arrange to purchase from others through voluntary trade.
The idea of supplying education through the government is deeply flawed. Even in advanced countries like Australia millions of dollars have been squandered on truly appalling purchases by centralised planners of schools.
The wastage involved in the Indian government's dabbling in such matters is clear: http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/aakash-low-cost-india-tablet-kapil-sibal/1/168564.html
The HRD ministry had initially placed an order for one lakh units with DataWind. It received 30,000 Aakash tabs as part of the pilot run. But it proved a disaster after poor the feedback concerning these tablets.
The message is simple: Let people make their private decisions for which they have not only the best local knowledge but the keenest interest.
Privatise ALL education, and issue school vouchers (detailed in BFN - NOT of the type commonly understood!). Let individual schools and parents decide how best to educate the children. The outcome will be a massive increase in the quality of education in India, particularly for the poorest of the poor.

very well said. Private bodies are much more likely to be efficient / effective decision makers rather than governments which are perpetually on opium (OPM. Other Peoples Money).

Also: (by Sanjay Garg) ये आकाश सरकार का मूर्खता भरा काम नहीं वल्कि जनता के धन को डकारने का जन्समर्थित माध्यम है !
Hello,
There is another irony ,which people are failing to see ,which is the most basic by which this tablet or even iPad won't work and that is Electricity and availability of cheap and reliable internet ,if these very basic are not dealt first then idea of selling this tablet pc is like selling refridgerator to an eskimo.
Just read the news that Akash can not follow the testing standard set by IIT .
