The National Policy of Electronics, 2012 (NPE) and the ‘Digital India’ mission have set ambitious targets of achieving ‘Net Zero’ imports of Electronics and IT hardware goods by 2020, by substituting imports with locally manufactured products, and increasing exports. This new Tablet, designed, developed and produced in India by MAIT members Intel and Datamini is a step in the right direction to help India achieve an important national economic goal, and at the same time establish a foothold in overseas markets.

Anwar Shirpurwala, Executive Director, MAIT said:

We will always promote ideas that address the needs of the Indian masses. The Janunnati Pad has been designed and developed in India, thus contributing directly to achievement of the goals envisaged under the government’s ‘Make in India’ program.

Debjani Ghosh, Vice President, Sales and Marketing Group & Managing Director, South Asia – Intel, and President, MAIT, said:

Intel actively collaborates with the government, educational institutions and civil society organizations to empower local communities through the use of technology products and platforms. The launch of the Intel architecture-based Datamini Janunnati Pad is another step towards supporting the vision of Digital India, as it helps to expand the reach and deliver secure e-Governance services to end users.

Pitamber Ahuja, Managing Director, Datamini Technologies (India) Ltd, said:

The government has provided the IT industry a great opportunity through the ‘Digital India’ and ‘Make in India’ programs. With an established background in manufacture of quality ICT hardware, we feel this was a great opportunity to create a product that would address the emerging needs for custom-built, application-specific enterprise class Tablets in the Indian as well as export markets. We believe this product has the potential to be used in other countries which are coming up with similar Digital Infrastructure.
