India, from being a knowledge consuming nation must now dream of becoming a knowledge creating one. For that, you need to have the best people working in universities, research labs across the country. The best of global institutions and their finest brains need to be attracted. We are uniquely positioned to be doing that today and we must not miss this opportunity.
Imagine Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, UCB, LSE, Yale, INSEAD having campuses in places like Kanpur, Pune, Visag, Bhopal and other tier II cities. Also, imagine bringing back Nobel laureates to India for their work and visualize what the country could be if the Jagdeesh Sheths, Mohanbir Sawhneys and CK Prahalads of our times returned to their native cities.
This is a big and audacious expectation that I have from the FM. I wonder if any one would concur with me or would mine be a lone voice?
