Net comes for Rs.15 at MS University

Students of MS University can now surf the Internet for a charge as low as Rs.20 for an hour during the day and Rs.15 per hour during the evening. The venue? The university’s own cybercafe, to be inaugurated on Wednesday at its computer centre.

Rumi Mistry, officer on special duty (planning), said donations from abroad, especially from alumunis of MSU settled in California, made the cybercafe a reality. At present they have 15 nodes on leased line.

The proposal for a cybercafe was raised during the time of former vice-chancellor Padma Ramchandran, but funds were a problem. A discussion with alumnus of the university settled in California, however, made the cybercafe a reality for the students and professors.

The main donors for this Cybercafé at MS University are Amit Shah and Ajay Shah and their wives.
