You cant.. It has to be in collaboration with the govt, and indian govt refused to participate in the OLPC project

100$ = 4,500 Rs. (Approx.)

U think it is possible in India?

The full-scale production of the XO-1(100$ laptop) hasn't yet begun, I believe. At any rate, it won't be available in India(as Kalpik said above). Only a handful of countries - mainly from Africa and Latin America - have agreed to buy it.

Does anyone know why our mahaan indian govt did not get involved in this gr8 project?

Because "it's too costly!"

And partly because we're designing our own $10 laptop. For real!

Price - HRD India

The Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry of India has rejected Nicholas Negroponte's offer of $100 laptops for schoolchildren. The Ministry is planning to make laptops at $10 for schoolchildren. The two designs submitted to the ministry from a final year engineering student of Vellore Institute of Technology and a researcher from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore; have come to a estimated production cost of $47 per laptop, but they expect the price to become lower when volumes rise.[47] No technical specifications have been released.

100$ = Rs 4000. Certainly not possible.....if it even is possible Govt Sucks. Remember the poor kids are supposed to get free food and books. A**holes all their stuff and make money. How low can they get

Yes, it will happen in TamilNadu. It's not a big deal for DMK govt. to give a $100 laptop for $50, as we are getting $50 Color TV for FREE now(!!!!)

They want to make official request to provide some laptop with all documents required and proofs...if they want any....with the $175 dollars they say
