چکیده
The Digital StudyHall (DSH) project seeks to improve education for the poor children in slum and rural schools in India and Bangladesh. The educational opportunities available to these children today range from the very poor to the non-existent.

DSH stresses: (1) cost realism in a resource-constrained environment, and (2) solving end-to-end education problems, instead of narrowly focusing on merely the technological aspects.
