Hyderabad: Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan on Wednesday appealed to the IT companies, corporates, organisations and people to donate used laptops and tablet devices with all accessories which are in good working condition and no longer needed, for distributing to the student communities belonging to poor and downtrodden sections and enable them to have the access to online learning.

The students belonging to poorer sections across the State were deprived of online learning as they do not have either laptops or tablet devices and cannot afford to have them on their own, the Governor said adding that there is a huge requirement for such digital gadgets.
