Joint ITU-GISFI-DS-CTIF Standards Education Workshop

(Aalborg, Denmark, 8-9 October 2012)

• Indian context – Education, Industry & Standardization.

• CTIF India, GISFI• Vishwa-Niketan, I4CT • Future plans

500+ Universities in India, we need 1775 by 2020. 3200+ Engineering colleges , More than 1.2 million seats. 10 million students appearing 12th/HSC. The Client- not

well informed. In 2015, “Knowledge Commission of India” estimates 15

million students passing HSC, 2 million aspirants for Engineering Education, can we provide them opportunity of excellent learning, and then employment?

Limited innovation, research, IPRs and Product Development.

Producing standards minded graduates-obviously not much.

Employability Potential of graduates ? Scope for improvement of quality of Teacher ? Usefulness to society – the basic Agenda of research ? What is investment to patents – ratio of India / Other countries ? How many commercial Technology products are based on Indian Research ? Why only about 2 % Indian Engineers are ‘ Software Architects’ ?Who will develop products for critical Indian market?

Project / Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Entrepreneurships . Collaborations for mutual benefits, global Business models ? CTIF, GISFI and many more initiatives of this kind !

Huge market opportunities, GDP growth of 6% for next 10 years, 24% growth in middle class by 2020.

Global solutions for local requirements-missing.Very few established networks in Industry – R & D –

Academic institutes, in true sense. Industry aware about standardization process,

efficient use. Local, less expensive products need to be

developed
