I reckon the Raspberry Pi is much more suitable than the tablet in the applications that he pointed out (C, C++).

Also, anyone knows how much the Indian government has subsidized the project so that they can sell at $40?

But the tablet enables the students to have hands on approach with a screen and input method. Raspberry Pi lacks in this respect.
