Google launches affordable XOLO Chromebook in India, Nexian Air priced at Rs 12,999; available on Snapdeal and Amazon

Google on Friday launched three new budget Chromebooks in India focussing on education –  XOLO Chromebook is to be made available on Snapdeal priced at Rs 12,999, Nexian Air Chromebook with same price tag will be available on Amazon – in the coming months latest units from ASUS including the Chromebook Flip and C201 and Samsung will also be available from local retailers.
Google also launched a Chromebox for businesses. The Chromebox, which is a video meeting utility, will be priced at Rs 90,000 and will be manufactured by Asus for India. “HP and Acer are making the Chromeboxes that are being sold in Europe,” Smita Hashim, Global Product Manager, Chrome OS, said. “Chromebox for meetings brings together Hangouts, Google Apps and easy­ to­ manage chromebox, making it simple and affordable for any company to have high­ definition video meetings,” a release from the company claimed.
The Google Chromebook runs on a much lighter OS and thus boots up easily.
The budget Chromebooks are targeting educational institutions and during the launch, Google showed off its new capabilities and new apps that are now available in the web store. “We are trying to get a lot of Android apps on the Chrome OS as both the OS complement each other. We can send regular updates to the OS after intervals of six weeks,” Hashim said implying quicker and faster development to the new OS from the stable of Google.The budget Chormebooks will come with with Google Apps for Education enabling the user to work in an already well-defined environment.
All the new devices will come with a management control console through which the educational institution or business can manage the devices. Each device use will be charged — a revenue model that Google has long been using with its email services.With the Chromebook management console, administrators can set up and manage up to thousands of Chromebooks from a computer or phone. “Plus, regular updates from Google mean that Chromebooks actually get better over time, reducing school’s maintenance and software costs,” Hashim said.
The Chromebook runs on a much lighter OS and thus boots up easily. The tech giant claimed that it has prepared the device for more offline activity than its earlier releases. “When we introduced Chromebooks four years ago, we
wanted to build a laptop for the way people use computers today­ always fast, easy to  use,  and  secure  by  default.Since launching Chromebooks in India, we’ve been working to ensure that Chromebooks work in an environment  where  connectivity  can  be  spotty,  and  many  people’s  first experiences with technology are through a phone rather than a laptop,” Hashim added.
According to IDC’s latest report on tablets and laptops in K­12 education, Chromebooks were the best­selling device in the US last year. While the devices released on Friday will run on the RK3288 Rockchip processor, the ones to come in the market will use Intel chips at its base.


Microsoft Brings Power of its Cloud Platform to Indian education, Launches K-12-Targeted Product ‘Edu –Cloud’


Identifying India as a huge potential market for IT reforms, more particularly in Education sector, Microsoft on Tuesday launched Edu-Cloud, a K-12 targeted product combining a digital learning platform on cloud and software solutions for schools, all deployed on Microsoft’s Cloud Platform.
Edu-cloud is going to provide ERP, SIS solutions and digital library access to schools and at the same time will offer virtual learning platform and teacher training aimed at students and teachers. This will be done by a system preloaded in a Lenovo tab serving as a point of access for all digitised content and Microsoft’s other software offerings such as Office 365 and Evernote.
Edu-Cloud is expected to reach 60 lakh students and 10 lakh teachers in over 1500 institutions in the next 18 months as told by Bhaskar Pramanik, chairman of Microsoft India who was in Hyderabad to launch Edu-Cloud.
Currently Microsoft has joined hands with a chain of educational institutions, Sri Chaitanya Schools being one of them, having network in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana which plans to roll out this service by next year to the students of standard 3, 4 and 5th. Sri Charan, Director of Sri Chaitanya Schools said,
We have a tie-up with Macmillan publishers for their digitized books as well as our own content. The current tie-up will reduce the assessment time, especially for test-prep for plus-one students from one day to a few minutes
It is noteworthy that K-12 education system has been quickly gaining popularity in India after establishing its footprints in USA and Canada, especially after the launching of free primary education schemes by Indian government. In fact, the current K-12 school system in India is one of the largest in the world with more than 1.4 million schools and over 250 million students enrolled, as revealed in EY-FICCI report on the education sector in India.
This concept covers the education from Kindergarten (K) till the 12th grade and focuses more on teacher-student interaction and “learning by doing” method, unlike our conventional education system based on “rote learning for exam” method.

Just the Beginning of Cloud Services

The idea of Edu-Cloud based on cloud services can be seen as just the beginning of cloud computing services by Microsoft, with the tech-giant reporting a staggering 106%growth in its cloud-computing business over the last year with annualized revenue rate of $6.3 billion.
In India, Microsoft is gearing up to offer its cloud services through three hybrid cloud data centers in Pune by the end of 2015 and later through centers at undisclosed locations in West and Southern India.
Bhaskar Pramanik the Chairman of Microsoft India, while speaking about the Microsoft plans to offer these services to enterprises and SMEs, financial institutions and government bodies, said
The public cloud market in India is currently 1% of the IT industry. We are building for the future by trying to grow the market to capture 50% of the $40 billion IT spend by enterprises in the country.
He further added,
We have been through every single guideline including the IT Act, IDRBT guidelines for the Indian banking sector and SEBI guidelines to make sure that our functionalities meet the requirements. These centers were set up for multiple tax and security reasons.

Education in Nepal


Education System in Nepal

Primary Education

Nepal has ambitious plans in place to turn education around by 2015 and ensure that every Nepalese child has an equal chance. The current program begins with 5 years of primary school, with pre-primary preparation available only in a few areas. At the end of this period, a standard school leaving certificate examination is prescribed.

Middle Education

Three years of lower secondary grade education follow. Students also have the option of moving on to a technical school instead, and obtaining a training level certificate.

Secondary Education

Secondary education takes place in 2 stages. Grades 9 to 10 follow a common academic curriculum leading to a school leaving certificate. During grades 11 to 12 though, there are opportunities to follow separate streams in commerce, education, humanities or science, and to receive a higher education certificate.

Vocational Education

The council for technical education and vocational training oversees vocational training throughout Nepal through policy formulation, competency-based curricula and quality control.

Tertiary Education

Nepal EducationWith one exception, all universities in Nepal are publicly managed, and publicly funded - although some state-controlled ones are also affiliated to private colleges.


The oldest of these, Tribhuvan University was established in Kirtipur, Kathmandu in 1959. It offers over 1,000 undergraduate courses and its student body, at almost 300,000, is rated the 19th largest in the world. There are 65 integral colleges, and over 200 affiliated ones.
