In association with the Maharashtra Knowledge Corporation Limited (MKCL), NComputing Inc. has completed the installation of 10,000 of its thin-client systems in 1,000 adult learning centres. In addition, the two announced plans to computerise 5,000 additional centres across India in the next two years.
MKCL's mission is to help the people of Maharashtra join the knowledge economy by providing world-class IT literacy and skills through a network of more than 5,000 learning centres.

MKCL needed a low-cost computing platform for its learning centres and chose NComputing's X-series technology which enables a single desktop PC to be shared by up to 11 students simultaneously. The NComputing solution costs less than Rs 4,000 per station and uses only one watt of electricity.
Speaking on the occasion, Vivek Sawant, managing director, MKCL, said, "MKCL's goal is to expand computer learning to millions of learners who need these essential skills to join the 21st century workplace. Our challenge was to expand computing access in a highly economical and eco-friendly way and the NComputing solution was a perfect fit. We are pleased that in less than a year, we have been able to install or expand computing access in 1,000 centres and now plan to expand to another 5,000 centres in the next two years."
"While there are many initiatives for school children to get computer training, we must not forget that there are tens of millions of adults who need computer literacy even more urgently," said Stephen Dukker, chairman and chief executive officer, NComputing. "NComputing is honoured to support this very important initiative as it will improve the lives and job prospects of so many people."
