Free Laptops, Tablets plan Finalised by Up Government

The Samajwadi Party government’s promise of free laptops and tablets came one step closer to being realised on Friday, when the department of secondary education finalised the distributed plan for these gadgets among successful students.

With distribution of free laptops and tablets promised across UP, the government has also formulated a phased distribution plan that covers, to begin with, government schools and institutions. In the second phase, gadgets will be distributed to government-aided institutions, including Arabic and Persian madrassas recognised by the Madrassa Board and Sanskrit Education Board. In the third phase, distribution will be done to unaided institutions followed by, in the fourth and final phase, CBSE and ICSE recognised schools and institutions.
