I smell bovine excrement for the following reasons:
1. Quotes attributed to nameless ministry officials.
2. " The two designs with the ministry are from a final year
engineering student of Vellore Institute of Technology and a
researcher from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Due to reasons
of Intellectual Property Rights, being insisted by the two designers,
the ministry is not parting with the design except giving out some of
the major details." Handwaving about IP.
3. "The laptop would be made on a single board which would make it
easy to find fault and rectify it, say sources." WTF?!
