    DHOLERA : SPECIAL INVESTMENT REGION

    ENGINEERING

    From the dawn of Indus Valley Civilization to the current times, Gujarat has registered an impeccable presence. It was the

    first to give refuge to the survivors of religious persecution in Iran and faced the very initial brunt of foreign invaders whomade an attempt to abrogate its indigenous culture & prosperity of its industrious populace. The Gujarati resilience nevergave up. It erected a strong resistance time and again and emerged victorious despite all odds.

    The astounding progress made by the people of Gujarat in the last decade has become a global talking point. It has becomeone of the most industrialized states of the country with a per capita income well above the national average. Theaccomplishments on several other developmental parameters have been mesmerizing as well.

    What is it in Gujarat that makes it such a vibrant place and how can its success story be replicated in other parts of thecountry? To understand the same our Director Relationships, Ravi Pokharna underwent a 3 day educational tour to Gujarataptly named as "Prakash Yatra", along with a group of 10 select youngsters who were chosen from a pool of 200 applicantsfrom across the country.

    Engineering India, the Gujarat Way is thereby a compilation of the first hand experiences of these youngsters. Hope thisbooklet would somewhat help in understanding the innate DNA of Gujarat's success.

    This Governance tourism trip was meant forthe individuals interested in seeing the

    developmental work of Gujarat.

    More than 200 young students andprofessionals applied to be the part of the trip.Finally a group of 15 was selected by anacademic jury.

    During the three day trip the group got anopportunity to meet and hear from theleadership of the a) Sardar Sarovar NarmadaNigam- The Sardar Sarovar project built onNarmada, known as the lifeline of Gujarat isbenefitting the irrigation, drinking watersupply situation, power conditions, wild lifeconservation along with flood control; b)Gujarat International Finance Tech City betterknown as GIFT - being built as a global financialhub with the support of world classinfrastructure and resources; c) DholeraSpecial Investment Region being developedas a global manufacturing and trading hub. It isa very ambitious project aiming to double theemployment potential, triple the industrialoutput and quadruple the exports from Gujaratin the next five years; d) Water and SanitationManagement Organization - the highlysuccessful community managed program ofwater management and sanitation; e) GMBPorts

    The BRT bus ride of Janmarg which is awardedas the Best Mass Transit Project by GOI and alsobagged the Award of excellence in the Best

    ITMS project category by GOI, made everyonerealize what visionary planning and effectivegovernance can achieve. A model which hastragically failed in States like Delhi has beenexecuted so well and efficiently in Gujarat goeson to say that the leadership does matter.

    The group also visited the Sabarmati RiverFront and the Kankariya Lake Project which isone of the highly acclaimed and awarded urban

    development project nationally.

    Longest trip in the 3 days was to Charanka (130km) which houses a huge solar park whichproduces 600mw of electricity, a project whichhas helped Gujarat put itself as an energysurplus state from being an energy deficit onefew years back.

    Visit to Mahatma Gandhi Ashram brought intolight the rich cultural and historical roleGujarat plays on the national map. The warmreception by the senior team at Gujarat StatePetroleum Corporation (GSPC) was veryappreciated by everyone in the group.

    The last but certainly not the least, visit was atBISAG (Bhaskaracharya Institute for SpaceApplications and Geo- Informatics). The groupwas pleasantly shocked to see what a smallteam at BISAG is able to achieve which remainsa distant dream in the other states of country.With the effective use of space technology andits innovative usage in solving regular rural andurban issues sets high benchmarks for theother India states to achieve.

    The group couldnt have asked for more. Onehour free flowing unrestrained chat with one ofthe most popular leaders of the country, HonChief Minister Shri Narendra Modi. And whatinspiring aura that he carries, everyone gotawestruck with his presence. Rather thanchoosing to hear laurels of his government heinstead kept on insisting everyone to give him

    feedback and suggestions to further improvethe governance of the state. Towards the end heappreciated RMP for its efforts and invitedmore such group for the governance tour ofGujarat.

    Indeed the trip was a memorable one for all ofus.

    Others state can copy the 'willingness' and'approach' of Gujarat to development.Copying the model might be challenging

    keeping in view different contexts fordifferent states.

    Gujarat has demonstrated a feasible anddoable model of development comprisingof conjoint planning and action by

    bureaucracy & polity facilitated by IT andtechnology to monitor progress andperformance.

    I think it is not going to be easy, but it ispossible. But what it needs more thananything else is the willingness from the

    political parties/leaders and stringentactions against bribes.

    Trust and backing of Gujarat people ontheir political leadership allows the

    government to function and perform. Itgenerates a strong political will and visionfor the government. This becomes a viciouscircle over time.

    Stringent laws against corruption andbribery. A professional & progressive work

    Indian higher education institutions lack a research culture. Themain reason for the state of affairs is that the country'suniversities suffer from "the 3 T's" - i.e., too much emphasis onteacher, text and tests and too little engagement in problem-solving and small-group collaboration.

    Thus, many students go abroad for higher studies mainly

    because of the quality of education. On the other hand not manystudents from developed countries opt to study in India. Thisone-way flow is likely to continue till the time Indian universitiesare able to ensure that meaningful research is carried out,preferably, in collaboration with the Industry and other researchestablishments.

    In addition, involvement of local communities in encouragingresearch is vital. Indian society would also have to adoptphilanthropy as a concept to give a boost to the researchactivities in the universities. That can happen only when the

    Indian universities are able to establish theircredentials as far as research is concerned and alsowhen their work culture improves.

    Foreign students may come to India, but it is most likelythat they would be from the Third world and not from thedeveloped countries. The small number that may comefrom the developed countries would be basically to geta 'feel' of the Indian environment and also to developlinkages that could help in trade or other businessventures later.

    India's middle class is growing and the parents havethe propensity and the capacity to pay for their highereducation. Further, as the middle class expands, morejob opportunities are likely to be created within thecountry, thereby, motivating Indian graduates toremain in India rather than immigrate. In that

    eventuality the number of students going abroad forhigher studies may drastically reduce.

    Such a development would have an adverse effect onthe capacity of universities in the developed world. Inaddition, the recession in the world economy has hadan adverse effect on the budget allotment andconsequently the research activities in the developedworld. The universities in the West are apprehensivethat consequences of paucity of funds may trigger amore robust two-way flow of talent between Asiancountries, on the one hand, and North American andEuropean nations, on the other. Such an environmentmay motivate students, faculty and university

    administrators from the Western countries to acceptassignments in Asia.

    If the Indian politicians, regulatory bodies and thebureaucrats show the required political will andmaturity, the higher education system can still berejuvenated. Lack of good quality research is a biginhibitor to attract talent from abroad and to motivateNRIs to return.

    The budgetary allocations for research may have to beincreased substantially and the academia would haveto ensure that it measures up to the faith reposed in itby being sincere and diligent in developing a credible

    research culture. An expanding higher educationsector in India faced with shortage of good faculty andacademic administrators would be able to absorbtalent from abroad easily.

    If we want to compete with China, Malaysia,Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea, Indian policyplanners would need to initiate steps to ensure that wepay attention to the quality of research in ouruniversities.

    Some of the bestuses of technology for

    you and me!

    e-books and e-highlights!e-books and e-highlights!the real point of this story. While reading a physical or e-

    book, if I come across a great quote, an interesting story,

    an anecdote or a lesson, I highlight it. (Yeah, I know... it

    ruins the physical book etc etc, but that's the only way I

    can speed-revise my books!!)

    So, this is what a typical highlight in a physical bookwould look like:

    This is from page 335 in the book 'Miracle of Love' -

    stories about Neem Karoli Baba compiled by Ram Das.

    However much I may want to, it's difficult to share all

    these actual highlights and sentences in physical books

    with my friends and family.

    Now, consider what I suddenly discovered when I wasreading the book 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by

    Paramhansa Yogananda on the Kindle app on my iPad

    (the book was bought by me on Amazon.com available to

    be read via the Kindle app for iPad):

    Kindle (Amazon) actually records what other people

    reading the same book, have highlighted in their versionof the book; and then gently suggests the same to me

    when I am reading the same book!! What better and

    more delightful example of consumer delight technology

    can there be, better than this one?

    How Amazon does it, is so simple. Regularly, 'e-

    highlights' of all e-books get pushed by the tablets they

    are being read on, to the Amazon servers for compiling

    and indexing; and these highlights get pushed back into

    each book as often as possible, with combined scores and

    counts!

    So, going forward, I need to read an e-book, and while Imay be lazy, or may not be that attentive in reading the

    subtler parts (especially in a religious book), these

    'Crowd Sourced' highlights, that pop up in non intrusive

    ways, could delight me and make me understand and

    appreciate the book even better!! These highlights could

    even be used as 'excerpts' for me to read before buying a

    book, since they would give me a great glimpse of what's

    in the book, by regular readers like you and me (rather

    than some fancy reviewer)!

    As a digital entrepreneur, I often feel that there is a great

    divide between people who 'get' technology and those

    who don't. For those who don't dig technology (and I am

    sure for good reasons of their own), I observe that these

    people get intimidated by Tech and withdraw from using'it' (devices) and its services 'web' etc.

    I want to inspire them through this column by

    showcasing real examples of simple technology and how

    that can delight our daily lives. I want to push them to

    accept that tech adoption is a must! On this note, I invite

    everyone to be a contributor to these series to help and

    inspire others!!

    So, this is my physical book library at home:

    Now, imagine carrying this book shelf with me on a plane,

    or into a hotel. It's impossible.

    You may ask me, "Why on earth would you carry a

    bookshelf on a trip? Just carry a couple of books, and

    don't behave like a moron.... I 'would' have agreed, until

    the tablets (iPad, Kindle) allowed me to actually carry as

    many books and bookshelves with me, wherever I

    wanted - in a plane, in a cave, on a mountain top, in a

    bathroom.

    Check out my iPad 'e-book' shelf:

    So, e-books help in ease of reading, transportability, etc

    etc etc.

    Now, we knew that all along, didn't we? So, let's move on

    Higher education: The problems of scaling quality

    and business models which dont work

    Like any other service, quality education is tough to

    scale. In todays era where knowledge is becoming

    increasingly complex, interdisciplinary, highly

    specialized and prone to very rapid obsolescence

    quality higher education as a consequence has proven to

    be very resistant to scaling. This has resulted in a pan-

    world scenario where while there have been

    unprecedented demand, the supply of premium

    education has been restricted to the elite few who have

    the wherewithal to gain entry into the hallowed

    precincts of a very few niche institutes of higher learning.

    Across the world, its a well-known fact that most of

    these premier institutes are either funded by

    governments or run off by massive endowments set up

    by some philanthropic trust. Most other institutes find it

    nearly impossible to find faculty who are both

    knowledgeable and have the ability to teach such

    courses.

    Simply put, in a scenario where there are a vast number

    of geographically distributed and dispersed students

    with modest financial means and a few institutes with

    the capability to offer a high quality education,conventional brick and mortar based education business

    models just dont work. And just to compound this is the

    fact that increasingly in the future people will need to

    continuously upgrade their skills in niche areas a fact

    which renders the traditional higher education supply

    chain incapable of passing muster.

    Feeble attempts at solutions

    Its not that this problem had not been recognized in the

    past. Solutions have been tried out in the garb of distance

    education and in the past through various forms of

    technology based learning including Television and

    computers. However, they have consistently failed

    because of few, simple reasons.

    For starters these materials have never been pushed by

    some well-known brands be it elite institutions or

    celebrity professors. Two related or unrelated to

    reason one- the quality of materials have been fairly poor

    and mostly non-interactive in nature. Thirdly both the

    print and the early computer or internet based materials

    failed to deliver on the social aspect of learning they

    simply did not allow students to form communities and

    learn together.

    Technology and MOOC

    Today technologies however allow for all the above and

    thats ushered in a completely new movement called

    MOOCs or Massive Open Online Courses. It must be

    pointed out that while open content has been around as a

    while, the packaging into distinct open courses which

    run with start and finish times, with on-line batches of

    students has been a fairly recent one. But already there

    are quite a few names which have become famous.

    MIT has launched MITx, Harvard has Harvardx and

    together they will offer courses on a platform called EDx,

    as has Stanford. And if numbers are anything to go by, the

    response has been more than staggering. Stanfords

    MOOC in Artificial Intelligence attracted over 100,000

    students from across 90 countries. Udacity which offers

    a course called Building a Search Engine has seen

    around yet another 100,000 students enrolling. And

    there are many other organizations which offer MOOCs

    such as Coursera and Udemy.

    How do MOOCs work?

    Typically MOOCs are created by top professors from top

    universities both of whom have iconic statuses. While

    there are many variants, a typical course has videotutorials with embedded quizzes and tests. On-line

    technological platforms allow learners to collaborate

    and answer each others questions, discuss topics and

    review and critique each others assignments and

    reports thus fostering a sense of community and peer

    based learning. The collaboration based creation of

    courses and learning makes for rapid changes,

    improvements and additions in terms of moderated user

    generated content.

    The large numbers of learners on a technology platform

    also allows the meaningful deployment of learning

    analytics- a branch of study which looks at how learnerslearn. This then can be taken into consideration in the

    next version of the course thus completing the classical

    loop of the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development,

    Implementation and Evaluation) model . While todays

    courses feature mostly recorded video tutorials, in the

    future materials are bound to include simulations, games

    and technologies which allow on-line project work and

    assignments which can be evaluated through a blend of

    technology and human interventions. Sites like

    Academic Earth actually provide recordings of live

    lectures (instead of specially recorded faculty only video

    of Coursera type of sites), thus making the experience a

    fairly authentic one.

    Business Models

    While many institutions offer free MOOCs, some

    organizations are for-profit. But by and large, the learner

    benefits by getting free courses. Accreditations or

    certifications are what students have to pay a modest

    sum of money for. This makes sense for both the

    educational institution and the student. While the

    institutions get to reach out to huge number of students

    which using ordinary delivery channels they would

    never be able to, the students get to attend courses for

    free and have to pay only for certifications or other

    premium services. As is the case with other internet

    enabled ventures, innovative business models will surely

    come into play too. For example, Udacity, which is a for

    profit organization plans to make its monies by offering a

    list of students with proven skills to recruiters and

    collect a fee in return.

    MOOCs in India: Some imperatives Infrastructure

    and Policies:

    In India where broadband penetration is still very poor,

    educational organizations can also leverage their

    existing infrastructure to provide internet access hubs

    where students can come and learn. Further investments

    also need to be made to provide cheap broadband

    connectivity and low cost computing devices such as

    tablets which can then be used by students to access

    MOOCs. Policy initiatives should ensure that MOOCs are

    recognized as legitimate learning and as a result arerecognized by both the government and industry.

    Needless to say, this cannot happen without developing

    proper assessments and certification infrastructure

    involving proctored, technology driven systems.

    Higher Education

    India has an acute shortage of premier institutes in the

    realm of higher education and thus the case for low cost,

    high quality MOOCs is very compelling one given the

    large demand in terms of sheer volumes. While leading

    Indian universities and institutes of learning have to take

    the initiative in developing MOOCs where the content is

    India specific, for other domains they can collaboratewith universities abroad to localize the content. While

    the theoretical and knowledge aspects can be dealt with

    in MOOCs, the brick and mortar infrastructure can focus

    on lab, practical work and skill development. Also other

    institutes which do not carry the premier tag and

    perhaps lack high quality teaching manpower can

    facilitate the delivery of MOOC content rather than in

    trying to build and deliver original content. The

    combination of these two factors can free existing

    capacity and build scale.

    Vocational Education

    As per estimates of MHRD, MLE and NSDC, India needs totrain more than 500 million people in vocational skills.

    Though there is in theory a massive demand this is also

    an extremely price sensitive audience and thus the cost

    for premium learning becomes a hampering factor.

    Thus it becomes a ripe case for investments in MOOCs

    which can be jointly funded and operated by the industry

    which needs this trained manpower and the government

    which wants to facilitate the training. Just as we

    described in higher education, MOOCs can allow an

    optimal usage of brick and mortar infrastructure for

    practical, hands on work and thus help in scaling high

    quality content delivery.

    Conclusion

    The MOOCs and the open learning movement they

    embody is here to stay and its not just the students who

    stand to lose out if such offerings are not made available

    in India, even the institutes who dont participate in this

    movement will be in the long run wiped out by those who

    do.

    KCNIT is a glaring example of an

    Institution inspired & instigated by theideal of creating a meaningful

    difference through techno-managerial

    education. Established by Mr. Arun

    Kumar Nigam, a former IFS officer,

    KCNIT organizes an annual contest

    namely Bundelkhand Pratibha Samman

    which reaches out to the remotest

    terrains of this backward region and

    hunts for the future Ramajunams and

    Ramans. Probably, Mr. Nigam and his

    dedicated band of team is delivering

    m u c h m o r e f o r t h e c a u s e o f

    Bundelkhand than their political andbureaucratic counterparts. Following

    are glimpses of Bundelkhand Pratibha

    Samman 2013 which has assumed the

    stature of a sacred ritual amidst the

    students of the region.
