How do nations rise?
Today I read that India’s exports of computer software exceeded 156 billion dollars annually.. (I mean, it entered the Suez Canal 25 times!!)
Did you know that all this is thanks to one man who understands!! .. Yes, just one man with a vision and thought.. One man with understanding saved hundreds of millions from poverty..
Let me tell you the story..Maybe someone will listen, understand and imitate..
= Until the year 1998, India was suffering from poverty, disease and ignorance, and it was the dream of all its youth to emigrate abroad.
At the time, Dr. Balega, who was working as the head of the Governmental Electronics Development Corporation, said, “Why do we let our children migrate to foreign companies? We don’t let foreign companies migrate to us. Let’s create an electronic city for the information technology industry.”
It’s not just a banner and a funky cat… No.. the man had a real plan over 10 years to educate and qualify a million students for information technology..
= The government trusted Balega and gave him full powers.. They allocated a large area for him in the south of the poor city of Bangalore to implement the “city complex”.. The man worked in 7 advanced technology institutes, to which 50,000 outstanding students were enrolled in the first year..
He gave each student a laptop and a free internet line. He sent 2,400 outstanding students to study in America, England and Germany. Those who returned taught the rest. Those who settled abroad visited the city complex every few months and transferred their experiences.. to encourage foreign companies to come to him. He gave them land for free and also exempted them from taxes, on the condition that they employ a thousand Indians in each company.. He personally visited all the major international companies and offered them all these advantages.
= The project succeeded and the 103 largest global technology companies (such as Verbo, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, Infosys, Siemens, IT, Satim) moved to it.. The Indians learned from them and established about 1,500 purely Indian companies to make programs and call centers.
= The Indian government decided to establish three electronic cities in other Indian cities.
Now the city of Bangalore alone exports technological programs and services worth 33 billion dollars (Egypt’s exports of everything are only 28 billion dollars). Although the population in the city of Bangalore has quadrupled in the last 20 years from 3 million to 11 million people, the average Per capita income has increased 11 times… Bangalore has become a very modern, modern city.
= India’s ambition did not stop at that, as it is now training about 4 million students in 1832 educational institutions specializing in modern technology from plasma, nano, stem cells and all modern fields in the world to catch up with development.
= There is no other way to rise but education.. This is what Germany and Japan did in the sixties, what China did in the seventies, what the Asian tigers did in the eighties, and what Turkey, Brazil and India did in 2000, followed by Ethiopia and Rwanda in 2010… And all these countries rose in less than 10 years. Years of education reform… Oh God, I have reached, O God, so bear witness. ..
