The Knowledge Economy and The Knowledge Society
The reasons for the decline of Indian academia are more complex than just the influence of IT, however significant that might be.
Afew weeks ago, I read a newspaper article in which C N R Rao, the well known scientist, was quoted as saying that "IT has destroyed Indian science". I was not present at the talk and the newspaper article was too short to say exactly why Prof. Rao felt the way he did, but one can speculate about the various ways in which the growth of the IT sector and other similar knowledge industries such as biotechnology has lead to a decline in basic scientific research in India.

Mindless profit-making and concentration of wealth in the hands of a few has hurt the financial world across the globe. Even the remedies have not brought any relief. It is the tax payers who bear the brunt to bail out the economy while those responsible spend their stacked up millions to avert the authorities’ eyes from them.

How Much revolutionary?
Considering the failure of the country's civil servants as well as the Government, to give to the citizens of this country, a clean and honest administration, administrative reforms had become a necessity. But, how far will these reforms as proposed by the Administrative Reforms Commission in its report, revamp the system and not remain a mere rhetoric, is a big question.

In the past few months we have been hearing about a lot of “bail outs” in Washington. First there was a $700 billion rescue package for the struggling banking system and then there was a proposed bailout for the big three automakers of Detroit. While it may be possible to remedy some economic problems by “throwing money at them,” this approach will only work for a short time and eventually we will have to look at the real causes of the problems and address them accordingly.
