OLPC is a non profit organization dedicated to transforming education for children who have had little or no access to modern information technology. Adopting OLPC India is an initiative to revolutionize the way we learn, the vision behind this "educational" project, and also scale up the eco-system of sharing between the diverse set of communities existing in the Indian Subcontinent.
The OLPC Association focuses on designing, manufacturing, and distributing laplets to children in lesser developed countries, initially concentrating on those governments
that have made commitments for the funding and program support required to ensure that all of their children own and can effectively use a laplet.
