Evaluation of ICT projects
While thousands of crores of rupees have been invested in ICT programmes in schools, there are not many studies assessing the effectiveness of these investments. In the absence or inadequacy of empirical data, decisions relating to ICT projects in schools are taken more on a 'belief' in the power of ICTs. This may be a waste of scarce public resources.

A few governments have distributed laptops to students and there is a need to study if the goals such distribution have been met and to what extent.
