According to Kanwar Pal, the minister of education, children would have access to free internet with a daily limit of 2 GB.

Kanwar Pal, the minister of education for Haryana, announced on Monday that 5 lakh tablets had been bought for Class 10 through 12 students enrolled in public institutions. According to him, 620 crore rupees were spent in total on the tablets. On the first day of the three-day monsoon session of the state legislature here, he responded to a query posed during Question Hour by Independent MLA Balraj Kundu.

According to the education minister, kids would have access to free internet with a daily limit of 2 GB. When Kundu asked the Minister why the firm's tablets had been bought, the Minister responded that the Directorate of Supplies and Disposals, Haryana, had published a tender for the acquisition of the tablets and that the company whose tablets were picked in a transparent manner.

The standards were suggested by a committee of technical specialists from the IT Cell of the Department of School Education in Haryana, which included the Joint Director (IT), Deputy Director (IT), and Programmers. He said that the Administrative Secretary of the School Education Department had given his approval for these requirements.

According to the education minister, the tablets come with Personalized and Adaptive Learning (PAL) software for English, Hindi, and social science classes. The Minister responded to Kundu's second issue by stating that the tablets have built-in safeguards that prohibit kids from using them for anything other than their intended function.
