Live@Edu By Microsoft & AICTE Partner To Offer 'Desi Facebook' To Engineering Students
Microsoft's Live@Edu has made an entry in India through AICTE. #-Link-Snipped-# is Microsoft's service that aims to prepare students for the future by providing them with great communication and collaboration tools and equip them with 'what the employers want'. Microsoft is big in the enterprise domain and through this initiative, it brings enterprise-class tools to students at lower costs. The suite includes co-branded hosted exchange, 10 GB inbox per user, promise to keep student's data private, 25 GB of Windows Live Skydrive, collaboration and document sharing tools, access to office web apps etc.

Union Minister, Mr. Kapil Sibal announced that the service will be ready to all students within next 3 months. It is expected to empower 7.5 million students and 500k teachers across the country. Students will experience a new kind of a social network with collaboration tools inbuilt allowing them to analyze data, study together and work on projects eliminating the geographic boundaries.
We congratulate Indian Government for the initiative & Microsoft for the association with AICTE. The question that's hovering over our minds here at CE is whether a 'Desi Facebook' is what the students need? Have your say in the comments.
