Indian caste system is not a thing to get rid off. It has deeply buried inside every Indian mentality. Even the govt is implementing some policies.. those policies are only useful to uplift them monetarily, not socially.
what do you expect from HRD ministry headed by Mr.Arjun Singh. He has no idea of what he is speaking of. First he promised to provide reservations for some a class of people, which later been rejected by Supreme Court as govt was not able to provide valid reason. Now he is talking some other bullshit, wait for a couple of months to announce that this project has been scraped.
The main problem is "lack of funds", every IIT get a mere of 50crores (~10million$)/year of funding from central govt, which is just enough to do regular patch works for the campus and for the basic salaries (~10,000$/year - proff grade) for the faculty.

Some of them, but only a few people buys those. Normally people prefer to buy casio or TI calculators.

I don't think it will happen anytime soon. Scientific calculators in India cost around 600RS(15$). How come a child laptop cost 10$.
