As promised, Kapil Sibal is launching the much anticipated Tablet device named as Sakshat made especially for Indian students today. Few days back, Kapil Sibal announced that he will launch Sakshat on October 5 2011 as a part of a campaign for Indian students. The device is born out of the mind of Indian HRD Minister and is made by Datawind and a team of technologists from IIT Rajasthan. Sakshat ‘s launching price is being calculated around Rs 1,700 for now and is estimated to fall even more as the time will go.

Sakshat is being touted as India’s answer to Nicholas Negroponte’s famed OLPC laptop who started the mission One Laptop per child. The process of making Sakshat available in all Government colleges will start within a month,Sibal added.

World’s current cheapest Tablet/Laptop are HP TouchPad for  $99 &  Amazon’s Kindle Fire for $199 . In India, tablets currently start from $99 for Pepper, a tablet launched last month by Devraj group of companies. The Wespro ePad is also available at Rs 7,000.All are much expensive than Sakshat but still lacks many of features which Sakshat provides in such a low end price tag.

Let’s hope that this prototype proves everyone wrong who are talking against it. Best of luck Sakshat!
