We recently announced that the Andhra Pradesh is deploying NComputing
in 5,000 government high schools to benefit 1.8 million students.

The figures don't compute in terms of students per school. And, if
they were really computing, to derive optimum (read: not maximum)
benefit for the students/curricula the # of instances deployed would
have to be on the higher side. There ought to be more to this story
than what the news reports say.
