THE state government has announced the resumption of free laptop distribution scheme for students this year, albeit in a different manner than it was implemented by the previous AIADMK government.

While the earlier scheme provided laptops for Class 12 students and those in state-run colleges, the announcement made by Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu in the budget speech on Friday said the new scheme will cover only college students and they will have the option to choose either a tablet or a laptop based on their preference.

The minister announced Rs 2,000 crore for 2025-26 for providing laptops and tablets to 20 lakh students over the next two years.
