We, students at PUMBA, have been doing a 8 day internship with Pune police. We will be working with Pune police for 8 days and would understand how they work. Objective of this mission is to reduce the negative impression of Pune police from the layman's mind and to bring police and public closer. And also to motivate pune police to work more honestly and with more enthusiasm. This program has been initiated by Pune Police Commisionor Ms Meera Borankar with the help of our Dean Capt Chitale.

Following is the Road Map of this internship.

Today, I had a meeting with Dr. Paul Kim, CTO, Stanford School of Education who told me about this new OLPC computer. The new OLPC computer is a tablet, has looks like the iPad and its probably going to give the iPad a run for its money. The tablet may achieve the original pricepoint of $100 (Rs 4,500) for the device. Marvell’s new Moby educational tablet platform based on ARM-based chips serve as the brains of this re-designed low-power tablet computer.
