ICT in education is a huge challenge, especially in a country like India. Of course many of us are already aware of these. But with huge impetus given to e-Gov, means reduced time frames, less corruption, faster paperwork... many advantages already experienced by industry. Vision 2012 and Vision 2020 are achievable, but industry must stay focused.
BangaloreIT.biz update..... interesting info regarding UID project by Nandan Nilakeni. I thot it was profile with an ID Card. I realise it is just number & no profiling. A uniq number for name + address + date of birth + bio-metrics (finger print & iris)- nothing more. Central repository will respond Yes/No for identity query & no info is passed on. Huge challenge creatng & processng a billion IDs!

attended a talk on Vision 2020: Leadership series.
Padmashree Warrior presented the Cisco side of the story and some interesting statistics and insights into broadband connectivity in India.
Reach and cost are Two major constraints in India.
One that caught my ears was this world fact from her:
Every second - 4 children are born AND 32 mobiles are sold! That's the speed at which technology is seeping.
