<snip> World software major Microsoft is acquiring a more visible presence in India in areas outside the pale of its everyday business. Six months after Bill Gates' sanctioned a Rs. 2,000 crore investment over three years in social and software development sectors, senior company officials today asserted that the plans were firmly on track.
Kerala and Uttaranchal, they said, would be the first two beneficiary States of project Shiksha — its plan to accelerate computer literacy by inculcating IT skills to over 80,000 teachers and 35 lakh students. Kerala for its obvious high literacy rate and Uttaranchal for the pleasant experience of `Teach the future' programme conducted jointly with Intel.
