I've been following India and Southeast Asia more closely after the Mumbai Attack. India with its big population has both great possibilities in the future, but at the same time, there are huge social and internal security problems that have to be addressed properly and fixed. Below is a short story about one possible problem solver.I borrowed his picture from Wikipedia. There is also some background information about "the problem solver" copy pasted from Wikipedia.
Technology can fix India's problems, says Mr. Nandan Nilekani in an IPTV interview for IBNLIVE webcast television.
The entrepreneur Nandan Nileakni has authored a book Imaging India. He is painting a dream for the dream of the future. He wants to be problem solver.
Nandan Nilekani (Kannada: ನಂದನ ನಿಲೇಕಣಿ ) is an Indian software entrepreneur. He is currently the Co-Chairman of Infosys Technologies Ltd, of which he is also a co-founder, along with N. R. Narayana Murthy and others.
End-users are pushing change at the grass-roots level.
- environmental
- healthcare
- social development
- India's growth and development
In the book, Nandan discusses a host of ideas ranging from the impact ideas such as democracy, globalization and demography have had on India's growth and development, to its slow progress in the areas of infrastructure and the provision of primary education to all, to the ideological deadlock when it comes to politics, higher education and labor reforms.
He also addresses a few ideas that are vital to cementing India's position as a global power - that of its social security provisions, its policies on clean energy and the environment, as well as its ability to deal with lifestyle-related diseases and ailments.
PS: It is good to have a global audience. A kind person from Edelman told me to correct a spelling error in my blog's right side column. There were more and might be more.
