पहला कदम (The First Step)

As a first step to spread awareness about OLPC in India, I teamed up with two more students of my class, Rahul Vats and Bhola Nath and prepared a presentation. We worked together and on February 5th, 2008 we delivered an awareness presentation on OLPC at a seminar in my University. Well... the response was as I expected. The audience showed a lot of interest in OLPC project and many came forward to join the mission.


Following are the main developments that have taken place:

  • A Student Chapter of OLPC India has been formed.
  • It is being planned to spread the message about OLPC in the other Universities and then to Schools of India.
  • Student Chapter of OLPC plans to take part in a few projects related to OLPC.
