BANGALORE: Deputy chief minister R Ashoka launched 'Pustak', tablet specifically designed to meet the learning needs of Graders 7 plus both CBSE and state board syllabus.
The 'Pustak' tablet has interactive multimedia animation in two subjects – Science and Mathematics. "Our idea is to give education not in text and graphic form but in form of interactive multimedia animation," said Pranay Misra, Global CEO of Nanotel Technologies. The tablets are priced from Rs 7,000 to Rs 14,000.
"The education content is embedded on to the tablet to help students for easy access since there are issues of internet access and downloading in the non-metro cities. Besides, tablet will have apps store, where the student can access model questions papers and test modules that will help in preparation of examinations," Pranay said.
