Is there any equivalent project like the one laptop per child project in Brazil here in any of the 30 plus states of India or in any of the 500 plus districts of India?

What looks most interesting is the self cranking/auto powering feature of the OLPC laptops (because of our dismal electricity problem in most of India). Wonder what hardware they have and what softwares are put on them. Anybody here who has first hand experience of the gadgets and if they are worth anything. I mean lot of hype is created for such projects including our own under 10,000 rupees computers but these sadly fail because of 2 types of problems--

1 mass scale manufacturing and management of distribution etc (large scale concerns) 2 problems in quality and benefits of the device plus no mechanism to improve on the existing device after users report defects and ask for enhancements. (individual concerns)
