I agree that it might help our education system, but my point is, the amount that goes in subsidizing it can actually be put to a much better use. @rohit_indian forget about changing the education system overnight, what india needs is a “functional” education system. 10$ laptop seems nothing more than a gimmick right now.

But one thing i did not understand or agree was : why would you oppose spending tax payer's money to reduce laptop's price(not cost as you have referred in your post). We can not bring down cost much .. certainly not to 10$ or so. But government can certainly bring down price of it by subsidizing it. Now laptop might not be 'the' thing that will change our(read Indian) education system overnight but i believe it can certainly help to some extent. And even if with this subsidy it benefits to that much extent ...what would be so wrong in it ? I agree to much of what you say about this thread.
