Sakshat is a tablet computer designed in India as a low cost device in order to attempt to bridge the digital divide. The original prototype unveiled in 2009 was a failure. However, a new prototype unveiled in 2010 has been met with enthusiasm. The device has been developed as part of the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology that aims to link 25,000 colleges and 400 universities on the subcontinent in an e-learning program via an existing Sakshat portal. The tablet would cost $35 with HCL Technologies being chosen as the manufacturer.
