SINDA’s objective is to place a PC in every low-income Indian home. SINDA has collaborated with the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore from 1998 to enable Indian students and their families to own personal computers with affordable Internet Connection.

Since the start of the programme in 1998, more than 4,554 new PCs have been placed in homes.

PC-Bundle Scheme

The PC-Bundle scheme provides a two tier subsidy. Successful applicants can own a new computer with free software and three years of free subscription to broadband services and will only be required to pay a sum starting from $146 for a desktop or $214 for a laptop.
