How much disk space do they have? It shouldn't be too difficult to add a Kiwix installation with English language (and indic languages) Wikipedias ZIMs, if there's space enough.

320GB so space isn't a problem.

Assam has traditionally had a problem with infrastructure and Internet
access is a problem. Someone who is supporting Amtron has asked the
Foundation if we can give them an offline version of Wikipedia to
pre-load onto these computers. Given that it is for 15-16 age group, it
does need to be of appropriate content.

Uh? What sort of Wikipedia content could ever be unappropriate for 15-16 years old boys and girl? I can't imagine any. :-/
:-)  Would suggest we err on the side of caution.  majorly on the side of caution.
