One Laptop per Child 2008 - Wellesley, Massachusetts

Chairman, OLPC India Foundation

I have an exciting task of helping all of India's underprivileged children, roughly 250 million, learn to become ready to explore their own potential in the times we live in. The Govt of India has been slow to recognize and has been doing what it is used to, that is follow the trend once its proven beyond doubt. All of us need to persuade them to look ahead, work to reach a destination rather than just being engrossed in starting from where we are towards an unknown destination.
