All students and teachers will also have personalised ids with '@dps.live.com' as the suffix and be able to store information and work collaboratively on team projects, it added.

Students would be able to avail mailbox capacity of 10 GB and storage of up to 25GB.

"Microsoft with its Live@edu offering opens up new possibilities for our students to communicate and collaborate online?both with their classmates and with teachers, and therefore derive more from the school experience," DPS New Delhi Principal M I Hussain said.

Microsoft will regularly update and add to Live@edu services to help schools expand the set of services offered to students and alumni.

"Since it is a cloud based offering, DPS will also be able to save on maintenance costs and reduce the time spent maintaining e-mail systems for students and alumni. This initiative also exemplifies the benefits of cloud technologies to the larger society," Microsoft India Director (Marketing and Strategy) Tarun Malik said.
