HYDERABAD: One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), a nonprofit organisation that has developed a low-cost connected laptop, is aiming to sell one million laptops within India during the current financial year.

"Momentum has just begun in India and we are targeting government primary schools," said Satish Jham, chairman, OLPC India Foundation.

Speaking to media on the sidelines of eINDIA 2010, he said the organisation sold over 2.5 million units across 40 countries. In India, there are over 2,000 OLPC laptops, which come loaded with wikipedia content and wiki dictionary.

Manipur was the first state to have adopted this technology in government schools. Kerala is in the process of procuring 1,50,000 units, while Gujarat placed an order for 3,50,000 units to be distributed in government schools across the State.

"Even the government of AP has expressed interest in procuring the laptops. We will be talking to the officials concerned shortly," said Jha.

Comparing it with the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD)'s lowestpriced laptop at $10 (approximately Rs 500) announced earlier, Jha said the MHRD's computer had fewer features. "They need to be inexpensive but not cheap," Jha said.

According to OLPC, the laptop is an efficient learning tool developed for children in developing countries. It will offer children a rugged, lowcost, lowpower, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.
