Well, the writer has some points here but looking at the problem broadly would have given him better insights. -His first point regarding connectivity is more where govt and private airlines have to do something. - If everything is established in metro, how ll India develop as a country. And was Bangalore as developed when IIMB was set up. Or for that matter IISc. That would mean govt should have set up everything in New Delhi or Mumbai in 60s or 70s because all other cities were not developed.Attrition would be a problem for reasons mentioned, but then that would be a problem in every such small city. That doesn't mean you establish everything in major cities. The whole idea of establishing IIMs in such cities was to develop these areas along with the development of these new IIMs. - Did you notice that the pristine environs and the quality conditions in Kozhikode and IIMK is actually a huge benefit to students. It is a wonderful place to 'concentrate on studies and management research'.
