Launching Rural Computing & Steering EV Reform Conversations

💻 Launch of RHQMM Madrasa Computer Lab

In line with its mission to make computing accessible to all, JaduPc formally launched the RHQMM Madrasa Computer Lab Project — a rural education initiative aimed at digital inclusion.

Highlights:

• Powered by JaduPc Linux desktops running ShopnoOS with a Bengali-first interface.
  
• Pre-installed educational software and offline-accessible learning content.
  
• Designed for low-power environments with minimal internet connectivity.
  

This project demonstrates that affordable, open computing can empower underserved communities, bridging the digital divide in rural Bangladesh.

🚲 Strategic Dialogue on EV Safety & Battery Reform

Later that day, JaduPc met with Khoda Baksh Chowdhury, former Inspector General of Police, to discuss the growing safety crisis in electric rickshaws.

Key discussion points:

• Widespread use of unsafe, low-grade lead-acid batteries in battery-powered rickshaws.
  
• JaduPc’s proposal for an affordable Battery Management System (BMS) powered by XenOS to monitor voltage, temperature, and charging patterns.
  
• Need for policy reforms around EV component standards, incentivizing safe battery adoption.
  

JaduPc emphasized its commitment to combining technology with policy advocacy to ensure that EV adoption in Bangladesh is safe, scalable, and locally managed.

🌐 Looking Ahead

From urban EV innovation to rural computing access, December 2024 marks a major leap in JaduPc’s national mission — to create accessible, homegrown technology for education, transportation, and public services. With Linux as the backbone and collaboration as the engine, JaduPc is shaping a future that belongs to all.
