This is as a part of its 'Delivering Smiles' campaign that it has launched to increase accessibility of digital devices for students from impoverished communities.
Of these 150 organisations, 100 non-profit partners will be selected based on internal employee nominations as part of Amazonâs volunteering program.Â
Additionally, Amazon is also encouraging its customers to either contribute in cash on Amazon Pay or give their old mobile phones that will be refurbished and distributed to provide digital learning devices for young people.
âTogether with our customers, employees and partners, we aim to bridge the (digital) gap by enabling young people with digital devices for continued access to online education and essential services for their families. This is also our way to bring more smiles and add to the festive cheer of Amazonâs Great Indian Festival across the length and breadth of the country,â said Manish Tiwary, Vice President, Amazon India.Â
âAmazon is committed to invest in the future of our country. We are aware that while talent and passion is spread across all young people, opportunity is not. This also led us to recently launch our global signature computer science education initiative, Amazon Future Engineer, in India that aims to enable access to quality computer science education and career opportunities for underprivileged students,â he added.

Amazon said that cash contribution from customers is enabled by a partnership between Amazon Pay and GiveIndia, Indiaâs largest and most trusted giving platform. Proceeds from the contribution will be used for purchasing new devices, data cards and digital accessories for students.Â
Customers will also be enabled to contribute their old mobile phones online, whereby Cashify, Amazonâs  partner in this initiative will enable the pick-up of old mobiles that will be refurbished and given to Goonj, Indiaâs leading nonprofit organization working in the field of sustainable material giving, to benefit thousands of young people.

Read MoreDDR5 RAM has just started being available on mainstream computing platforms starting with Alder Lake and the Z690 chipset. However, if you've been looking to upgrade to this platform you should be prepared to pay a bit more than expected. According to Seeking Alpha, memory manufacturer Micron has stated in an earnings call that supply on the components that go into making RAM kits is in short supply, which will mean a shortage of DDR5 RAM, which is in high demand now that it's available on mainstream platforms. And while the report doesn't directly mention the price of the memory kits you'll see in your local big box store, it's the same kind of thing that's happening with the best graphics cards, so you should expect to see prices go up until the situation improves. Luckily, supply is expected to improve in the second half of 2022, hopefully before AMD launches a competitor to Alder Lake - whenever Team Red is ready to do so. And considering that DDR5 memory is only available on one desktop platform right now, we would expect the situation to get worse, especially as DDR5 starts to become available on laptops. We haven't heard any word of laptops using the new memory standard yet, but mobile chipsets are never far behind their desktop counterparts, so we suspect we'll see some news on that front at CES 2022.
