A vision for India a decade along - around 2020AD
India can become the knowledge power-house of the world, with the establishment of a few million knowledge centres around the country. I dream of a kowledge centre in every village. These knowledge centres will co-exist with the traditional way of life in the country; viz. agriculture and other trades. It will however lead to a reverse brain drain. I will possibly be one of the first to embark on a career in such a knowledge centre in the middle of nature's greenery. Yes, a lush green countryside with all the required connectivity. That's it! That's all that is required to start such a knowledge revolution - good connectivity and a low cost device. Both of these requirements can be fulfuilled by open source. And yes there is one more requirement - open and accessible knowledge.
