[pull_quote_center]The world has witnessed a knowledge revolution in which models and paradigm of learning has changed. Learning was based on pen learning at one time. It is now redundant. Today is the age of computer literacy. Government is working to enable all the members of society to benefit from this change and for that very purpose, the government has distributed laptops. We distributed laptops on merit. Laptop is not leisure but a necessity item these days. I never realized what the eventual benefit of laptops would be until I hosted young IT entrepreneurs. 75 percent of the entrepreneurs were those who were beneficiaries of the laptop scheme earning good amount[/pull_quote_center]
