The First Step
As a first step to spread awareness about OLPC in India, I teamed up with two students of my class, Rahul Vats and Bhola Nath and prepared a presentation.

The audience showed a lot of interest in OLPC project and many came forward to join the mission.

- A Student Chapter of OLPC India was formed.
- We delivered presentations at Panjab University (5th Feb), Chandigarh Science Congress (14th March) & IIT Roorkee (28th March)
