Aakash is the Limit (Sky is the limit)

Al rite i will be honest,i have read the Idiom (Sky is the Limit) numerous time but understood the meaning of this Idiom before writing this article (It means there is no limit or something which has unlimited potential).

Now I am coming onto the Article, we knew the about the project Aakash long time back,in fact we  were waiting for this Article to Publish for people to understand why an NGO distributing Free E Books is a Noble Cause. And YES Aakash is the Cornerstone of FreeEbooksIndia.com, Aakash would ensure Tablet to everyone in the country and   FreeEbooksIndia.com would ensure those who have Aakash don't need to spend upon books.
Now here comes a Question,In a country like India where rural people who have access to electricity only for   4-5 hours a day, providing tablet and Free E Books makes sense ??

Reading the Criticism for Aakash in today's TOI,i can easily say some of you will agree with me, others will not,in fact  i was also given this explanation by a volunteer of FreeEbooksIndia.com, so i am just quoting her words here.
"It is the Middle Class that values the education most ". (Sorry if i am being offensive to anyone)
If you are extremely upwardly then you focus more on learning how money works,instead of reading newton's law :) :), if you belong to less privileged then studies might not  be your priority,  you would like to meet end's first(earn the basic necessities of  life) and then focus on study and Books.

So i would not mind standing up and say Aakash and FreeEbooksIndia.com is a step towards better society and it makes sense to me and all our volunteers. :)

AAP.....We Care.
