Welcome to yet another post at Sujavna, which I want you to know is a part of my “blogging for bhajiyas” – yes I have been promised bhajiyas for evening tea by my dear wife, and I need to be on time for the same!
I am happy to have concluded that the range of themes that all of the previous editions of Sujavna have included, is indeed a wide assortment. Not so happy, though, that further research and comments have not followed many of these. It is my intention to follow-upon two of the themes – NUN (New United Nation) and Hug-A-Friend network of centres – to check on how these could really become feasible, or, (if there is a consensus) how these need to be amended for ensuring feasibility. So watch out for more on these themes in the coming weeks.
As for my experiences last week, the one experience that stands out is the realization from a series of meetings with technology managers of Indian corporate groups, that there are many leading businesses in India that have mindlessly invested in procuring and retaining technology licenses without any business profitability assessments. The idea that crossed my mind as I realized this was: Is there some way by which technology departments of Indian corporate groups can take on a CSR initiative that could leverage and use the unharnessed technology potential within the group (and this would include unused technology licenses, technology skillsets, technology hardware) for facilitating citizen / local government / educational / healthcare initiatives?
What do you think? Looking forward to reading your comments and views. Until next Sunday, then....
