 manifestation today. Two things I wanted to mention in this context. First is the development of the Akash project itself. So last week we had a long session in fact in two parts. First this is basically with the workshop co-ordinators. dude dot dreto so pen bet cons the నిలినానొంటతువా వాల్నిందివాసినెండిచొల్డ యాకే్డినాందానాపెసల్నె పదియంపత్లందాకునిపోనిక్సందికంద్టి వాకునికాకేదాటియికెట in aakash tablets. So, they have to agree to deploy about 60 to 70 tablets in one chosen class of a subject in every semester and see how meaningful applications, meaningful contents can be used by students of that particular subject. Secondly, there will be about 15 to 20 tablets given to research students, final year engineering students or ME students or whosoever who want to develop new applications or new contents for educational requirement. And this educational requirement R&D will not just in aing college education but school education, college education. It is in this context that two of the mtech students will be making your presentation. I think Pavan has chosen which particular for schools. So, school education has additional challenges. Because the school education in India cannot be served well unless Indian languages are used as the basis for content delivery. Whether it is script or whether it is spoken or whatever. And therefore rendering Indian script on tablet for example is a hard problem. We are even considering institutionalizing development of new forms suitable for the 7 inch form factor thing. Because even that cannot be taken for granted. What works well on a desktop you already know does not necessarily work well on a small term. On the other hand there is also a college education focus. So, these two people are working on that. I don't know which whether your colleges are going to be remote centers or not. If they are going to be remote centers then each college will receive about 110 tablets. Some of which would be available for any further work that you may want to pursue after going back. But if your college is not on the remote center list, when you go back you can find out from your head or head of the institution or head of the department whether that institute is interested in becoming a workshop coordinator for the large workshops you will be conducting. Now for 10,000 teachers every winter vacation and summer vacation. And additionally would they be interested in participating in the Akash experiment. So that's one thing. Now the way R&D is done here in IIT it generally gets a focus around one or more faculty members who are interested in that and related areas. Under them typically there are several PhD students. On Akash on which we started working very recently there aren't any PhD students per se. However there are several because there are 40 faculty members in CA's department, a similar number in EE and we have a large number of research scholars who might be looking at associated problems. So for example HIFI connectivity. Some of you will be aware that we ported the clicker application on Akash and when we tested it, it worked well. When we tested it with 10, it worked well, with 20, it worked well, with 30, it worked well. When we tested it with 50, therefore yesterday with 100 or our workshop called that as it did not work because the HIFI access point would not accommodate so many simultaneous corrections. Now this was discovered first time although Prasad Purushattva Kulkarni had warned us about. Now that becomes a hard research problem in CA's. A. How do you find out the limit of number of connections for the nature of load that this activity puts? B. How do you optimize it further? So can you do something on the HIFI access point itself? So as my hardware team in the affordable solutions lab to build an affordable HIFI access point which can take care of 60 to 70 connections at a time. Now clearly today we have put multiple access points and the one which is nearest to your tablet which will get logged on that is how things work. I am just giving this as an example of a hard problem that needs to be solved. I was describing the ethos of the research here is that faculty members and research scholars will look at some deeper problems and they will work out some implementation issues which need to be looked at very quickly and critically. So those are spawned off as projects for intake and B-take level. So we are starting with the intake level projects several of them now and we will be spawning of some B-take level projects and of course the PhD people will continue. Now this is going to be about 2 to 5 years horizon. We are not going to stop it, just start it. And since many of you who have participated not necessarily directly with Aakash project but with the kind of work that happens here. If you like it, you may want to continue doing that. Thirdly, where are the other intake students? Now this I thought it was obvious that all the people should be attending. If the attendants carried grade, would they have done the same thing? No. That is what is unfair. I expect that amongst the undergraduate students who unless there is one more quiz or something they may not be very hotly inclined to attend on a weekend. But not with the intake students. I mean the level of maturity and self-enthusiasm expected is much higher. I think that is not fair. You look at the youngsters who are secondary, third-year engineering students who come all the way and that is the only time on Sunday they get to relax a bit in their intensive work. I am not saying all of them are here but there are several of them who are here. And I think intake students have already wanted to demonstrate something better than this. Just two or three people is not good enough. Same day a stinking message to all of them and I would like to personally meet them. By the way, I would like to personally meet all the new intake students. I have never met them together. So is there an opportunity that I will get to meet with them? When are you planning to do that? Any time is no time. Let's fix a time. No, no, no. Saturday Sunday the main workshop starts. I will be dead for 10 days. And 24th is a Sunday but the planning commission deputy chairman has called me to make a presentation. So Friday is the only time when there are intake defences. Okay, do one thing. Thursday and Friday are intake defences. Ask all intake students to attend the defences. All. And ask them to book a classroom, a big classroom so that all of them can attend. They should get a first time information of how the internal examiner and the external examiner critically chop off students and their thesis in front of them so that they should be ready, ready, ready in advance. Okay, because we have open defences. Okay, so please go ahead. I am sorry, I cannot stay but that's the reason why I am asking my colleagues to record all the presentations so that late nights I will be glimpsing through these and ask proximity team even from this presentation let them back to our three teams so that I can jump to an appropriate one. Okay, thank you so much and all the best.
