WASHINGTON: India's push to digitally empower millions of its poor students with lowcost , government-subsidized , internet-enabled tablets won UN endorsement on Wednesday despite raging controversy and misgivings on the provenance and pricing of the device.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon personally approved the Indian effort at the UN Headquarters where dozens of envoys from across the world gathered for a peek at the Aakash II device that its makers (British-Canadian-Indian company Datawind) and chief patron (Government of India) say will revolutionize education and commerce.
"I know that in Hindi, 'Aakash' means sky," Ban Kimoon said in brief remarks. "I want to encourage partners around the world to work with the United Nations to help young people reach for the sky and meet their dreams."
India's ambassador to the UN, Hardip Singh Puri, took the opportunity of India's rotational chairing of the UN Presidency to project New Delhi's digital push, with Datawind CEO Suneet Singh Tuli also in attendance. Both men strenuously contested reports in the Indian media that the Aakash II is primarily a Madein-China device with marginal value addition in India.
