4. VisionandMission
Every Indian learner desires a
chance to receive the highest quality
education. Scarcity of trained
teachers hinders this aspiration.
Difficulty in accessing the best
educational contents, in an
affordable manner, further
accentuates the problem.

5. ThePowerofThinking
Effective use of Information and
Communication Technologies helps
in significantly addressing these twin
issues. Aakash Tablet, launched by
Government of India, is emerging as
a key ICT tool for this purpose. When
used in conjunction with the high
speed network of NKN, Aakash has a
great potential to become a
ubiquitous and effective ICT tool for
students and teachers.

6. ThePowerofThinking
Aakash project at IIT Bombay is
dedicated to the development of
useful applications and contents for
use with Aakash. It attempts to
empower teachers by using a unique
blend of technology, e-contents, and
an innovative pedagogy.
While the main focus of this project is
on engineering education, it is
proposed to use the creative talent of
these professional students and
teachers, to develop applications and
contents for all levels of education,
including school education in Indian
languages.
