LUCKNOW: The dream project of Akhilesh Yadav's government to distribute free laptops to intermediate pass students has attracted software giant Microsoft to study the scheme.
Sources said that the world's largest software company has roped in Mumbai-based Indian Market Research Bureau (IMRB) to conduct a study of the scheme launched by the Samajwadi Party government last year.
Sources said that a team of IMRB will be visiting Lucknow soon to have a meeting with the officials of Information Technology and Electronics, secondary education departments and UP Electronics Corporation Ltd (UPECL) to seek details of the scheme.
The team is likely to study Microsoft software loaded in the laptops and try to find out the response on its functioning, sources said. The scope of IMRB team's study would include objective of the scheme, its planning, tendering process, procurement and distribution of laptops.
Distribution of laptops has been one of the key poll promises the Samajwadi Party made to the voters before the UP assembly elections last year.
