Youngsters to lead India's tech revolution
Thursday, 06 August 2009, 04:08 Hrs
Washington: Saying that the U.S. needs to wake up to the reality of India's technological revolution being led by IIT-educated "young men and women under the age of 27", President Barack Obama's nominee for deputy commerce secretary said countries like India, China, Brazil and Russia were going to pose a major challenge to American dominance in the coming years.

"Today, we find ourselves competing not only with companies of great capacity, but countries intent on establishing dominance in the growth areas of the 21st century," Dennis Hightower, Obama's nominee for deputy secretary of commerce, said at his confirmation hearing Wednesday.
"Countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China -- often referred to as the BRIC countries -- are now employing aggressive industrial policies reminiscent of Japan's strategic commitment to the electronics industry in the 1960s," he said.
Referring to his recent business travels in India, Hightower said he was "floored by that country's commitment to reinvesting in technology and the implications for the United States".
Visiting "a veritable who's who of global technology giants" in Bangalore, the would-be Obama official said he "was struck not only by the technological inroads being made in newly designed, avant-garde factories and laboratories, but also by the fact that this technological revolution was often being led by young men and women under the age of 27.
"By and large, these young people were not educated in the United States like many of their fathers -- at MIT, Cal Tech, or Rennselaer, for example -- but at the Indian Institutes of Technology."
Hightower noted there are "projections that place the United States in fourth place over the next 15-20 years in terms of consumerism, manufacturing capacity, and the growth of an entrepreneurial base that keeps pace with new global developments and delivery systems."
"This forecasted outcome, to my way of thinking, is unacceptable," he said stressing "we must re-establish the primacy of the United States as the world leader in innovation, creativity and excellence across the global economic spectrum.
"If America expects to lead, we must put our best minds on the toughest problems -- reforming the way America uses healthcare, consumes energy and educates our children," Hightower said.
"America must now act with a renewed sense of urgency" he said, as "our global competitors are neither standing still nor shy about taking action to exert their global economic ambitions".

1: What President Obama fails to realize is that
the Indian "tech revolution" was sponsored by
the United States. Sorry, but facts are
facts. Had it not been for fledgling efforts
at outsourcing Customer Service and later,
Systems Maintenance, the BRIC countries would
not have stood a snowball's chance in hell of
staging "tech revolutions".

2: IITians of the yesteryears have been gr8...
no doubt about that... I salute those
greats... but let us not forget we had only
IITs then to offer proper engineering
education... When the US official used the
name IITs, he addressed it as Technology
institutes in India... IITs have been used
here to represent the Indian Techno people...
IITs and IIMs are nowhere bringing any new
talent... Problem is We don't have people
turning to become faculty... only people who
fail to get jobs are going into education
system as lecturers... Though there may still
be good teachers... The overall standard of
Teaching staff is falling... Education should
and Teaching should be the best profession...
but Government needs to take steps towards
that to make indian institutes a better
place...
I think you guys would agree on this... We need good people not to teach but nurture the future talent...

IndianEducationNeedsRevamp has said. What are
we going to do about it. Forget what the
government is going to do about it. If we
rely on Govt Not even in 2050 we be super
power. And what i'm saying is again a fact.
So we will for sure have to change this. i am
there for it. after my work as Soft Engg for
sure i will be in a college teaching
computers. How many can join me?

12: It is a total misconception that IITs and
IIMs and other sc-called elite colleges are
the only places of intellect in India. They
are simply placed as superior intelligent and
the rest of the crowd are seen as simpletons.
Once I went to the proximity of such an elite
national college. The locals there were
induced to a level of inferiority complex by
the immensity of resources and infrastructure
unloaded there. It is not correct to use
national wealth to induce such inferiority
complex on the rest of the citizens here. As
to the IIT and IIM graduates contributing to
the improvement of the quality of the common
man here, there is no such evidence. They
just land up in superior stations in
corporate sector and use the same feudal
words to induce similar inferiority on their
working class, or else they all escape to
English nations, after swallowing national
wealth for a number of years. What is
required is not a 'brahmin' class here, but
dissemination of quality for all. Let primary
schools be given superior quality teachers,
who can give the children good English and
good personal development. Currently, primary
classes in most places are run by 'ayah'
class teachers. As to the English nations
trembling at the prospect of IIT and IIM
graduates coming into dominance, let me say
with conviction that even a servant in any
Indian home if given the chance to go to any
English nation will show fantastic personal
development. I have seen it for myself. As to
these IIT and IIM graduate having superior
intelligence, it is a myth. I know some of
them, and they are well-informed, but there
are many like them, who also are equivalent,
but do not have so much national resources
uploaded on them.
Another thing, all this talk of competition is only that of robbing jobs in English nations, and of working and living in India. All the nations mentioned, like China, Brazil and the rest are going to be the problem for India, if is aims to prosper with such robbing. It shall be a fight among them to get the best vantage position to rob English nation jobs.

16: According to Matthew Ohland, an associate
professor in Purdue University's School of
Engineering Education. " Engineering students
are amazingly like those in other
disciplines, but we need to do more to
attract students to engineering programs,"
"If you look at who graduates with a degree
in social sciences, 50 percent of them
started in social sciences, and for other
sciences it's about 60 percent. If you look
at who graduates with a degree in
engineering, however, 93 percent of them
started in engineering. The road is narrow
for students to migrate into engineering from
other majors."Findings were drawn largely
from a database that includes 70,000
engineering students from nine institutions
in the southeastern United States. Ohland
manages the database, called the
Multiple-Institution Database for
Investigating Engineering Development, which
followed students over a 17-year period
ending in 2005.Data show that the nine
institutions vary dramatically in how well
they retain engineering students over eight
semesters, ranging from 66 percent to 37
percent. Those findings indicate policies and
practices at some institutions may serve to
retain students better than those at other
institutions. The findings suggest educators
should develop a two-pronged approach to
increase the number of engineering graduates:
identify which programs best retain students
and determine why they are effective, and
develop programs and policies that allow
students to more easily transfer into
engineering from other majors.

17: I absolutely agree with the fact that our
political system has been at loggerheads with
the educational system in order to wipe out
the only enemy which stands between india and
development. Development as in 100%
literacy(not by distributing or reading
bollywood magazines laced with plagiaristic
contents), Development doesn't mean bringing
down the standard of merit in any educational
institutes by employing reservations. This is
something which needs to be wiped out at the
grassroot level. Reservation should be for
the under-priviledged of the society
irrespective of caste, whereas over here our
votebank oriented politicians(the real
culprits and friction in the path of
development) are hell bent upon destroying
merit. Two students hailing from sound
financial backgrounds face discrimination at
the entrance level tests, one who misses out
the cutoff by a whisker and has to adjust
with a second string college, but another,
though affluent, since is stamped as
belonging to reserved category would be
allowed entry despite gfailing miserably in
the tests. This is gross injustice towards a
merit based system.Development doesn't mean
allowing any tom dick or harry to contest the
polls, irrespective of his academic or civil
record and then citing english as the root
cause of corruption and under-development,
another is building statues worth crores of
tax payer's money and even the apex body of
justice in the country stands helpless and on
top of it citing it. Development doesn't mean
hiding india's rich history and propagating
lies in the form of history syllabus, thereby
making a grevious error. History is actually
a reflection of our civilisation displayed to
us on the mirror of time.
The US is in a precarious position now facing crisis right away but i feel it is devoid or has less number os nblood sucking leeches at its governing helm both at the natioanl and state level. The foundation is still strong and it woulnd't be late for them to adopt the very models employed by the IITs and IIMs, the beacons of education and enlightenment in our country and start with a new vigor. On the contrary if we don't rid our social, political and educationsl structure of the ever increasing number of viruses, w would face if not the similar but many crisis of sorts in the future. Its high time india truly wakes to a bitter reality and be more visionary and not focussed on myopic gains and bath in the shower of praises. Arise awake and rest not till we achieve a true and developed india, independent in the truest of sense.Jai Hind

Ofcourse IIT ians are more capable and there is no place in India they can use their high skills. Every where curruptions. People are so liberal don't follow any rule. Any one can make mistake and get can around it. And most of the mistake is forgiven if he does some thing good later.
For example
A rowdy in Tamil Nadu become DCM and get Doctorate in Anna University
A person who financial help help(kovi bom blast madhani) A kunda, gang leader is Union Minister of Agriculture.
A currption leader is Union Minister of IT
People take Money for voting.
Any rich man/political man cannot get punished if he do a mistake.
Criminals are doing mistake/curruption knowing that they can escape from it.
STATE OF TAMIL NADU IS FULL OF UNPATRIATIC CITIZENS AND THE STAT IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION.

24:I agree with you. China is well ahead on
this. They are taking all mesures and
learning english. They punish people they
remove importanant body part(kidney, eyes)
from criminals and kills them. Such rules
should be implemented in India.

25: How Honest Citizens are you Karun &
bg9xvj ........ never broken a rule or tried
to Bribe a govt employee ....you Guys think
there is no Corruption in developed
countries... Americans attack every country
which challenges there oil interests, you
think Senators in America plan that strategy
or executives of big oil corporates...... You
think the amount of money spent by candidates
in elections is their own ... no it isn't, it
is the money given to them by big corporates
and its is so foolish of us to think that
this money is given by them for no
reason...or for their beliefs in the
Political systems. This money gives them
Muscle to force their way into polices and
action taken by Govt in any country with
democracy. It is us who choose the Govt and
it is our obligation to choose the right
people. This leaves us with no right to howl
over there actions...but its time to correct
us.....

27: May I ask Mr Hightower (how appropiate!) -
What is the problem if US is 4th in the world
in some respects? It is just this kind of
attitude to be on top of everyone that brings
trouble to one and all - where is the peace
and harmony?
Posted by: Subhash Bose - 06 Aug, 2009
28: Good eye-opener for Americans. The crux of
the problem is two-fold - 1: Americans have a
sagging will to learn especially in high-tech
fields, as they tend to seek more easier
pastures like Marketing, Sales, HR and around
Communications/Media. 2: America offers too
much pleasure to make one burn mid-night oil
for too long. The partying and the dating all
add up to loss of competitiveness.
It is a real pity as some of the best facilities for learning, all kinds of resources, are still very much an American monopoly. Foreign students make the most of it, especially in the early years of stay.
But yet it looks like the US will be losing competitiveness in almost all fields over the next couple of decades as learning leadership will pass to other countries. I guess the learning field has become more level - thus making it more of a "free for all".

of children from decades, but they have time

30: I pretty much agree with the theme. America
is sure to lose its dominance because finance
has taken over engineering - when companies
like GS make boatloads of money just trading
(and not creating any real value), where do
you think future talent is US will go

32: Looking at India's tech revolution, the
suggestion by Hightower is valid. This
article also shows the contribution by youth
towards the growth of the country.

39: So I've been on my online venture for
sometime now. But I have always stayed with
GDI.
GDI isn't a company your going to get rich overnight with. But more of a compnay you can grow while your
onto other things. Now I have a HUGE downline that pays all my bills and some. I am so happy I stuck with
them the last two years. If you guys want to start with them it's only $10 a month. And it's definately worth it!
