Aakash Tablets in Education 

IIT Bombay along with the Ministry of Human Resource Development has developed Aakash tablets for 

educational purpose. Honorable President of India Shri Pranab Mukherjee launced the new version of Aakash 

Tablet, Akash 2.0 on the occasion of National Education Day held at Delhi. The National Mission on Education 

using ICT (NME-ICT) envisages that these tablets should be deployed for empowering the students and 

teachers of the country. The tablets are expected to be deployed in more number for academic and research 

Aakash was launhed on November 11th

2012. Around 14,000 participants in 

more than 240 remote centres were 

attending the event. On the second day 

of 2 day ISTE workshop on “Aakash for 

Education”, live teaching was 

demonstrated which was seen 

throughout the nation.

Aakash 2.0 is a complete educational purpose tablet and not designed with hi-fi configurations. Aakash 2.0 

includes 3D-modelling, C++ programming, remote and collaborative training applications, robotic control and

live assessment tools. IIT Bombay has partnered with the Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-
DAC), to assist with the hardware testing and logistics.


Aakash 2.0 can be operated with Wi-Fi which enables the students with easy internet connections. It is also

equipped with USB slots in which one can use internet modems provided by different network providers.

Aakash 2.0 is not equipped with third generation facilities. So, one cannot use this tablet for video calling or

high speed internet. Akaksh 2.0 is featured in such a way that it is best suited for educational purpose, not for

commercial use. Future versions of the tablet will continue to have further enhancements.
