India, in fact, has been a democratic country in most of its history, albeit, not in the form that is widely held as democratic in the contemporary context. If democracy refers to deriving governing power from the people, citizens of India have...

Its not the democracy at fault! Its the systemic failure, we are also partially responsible for it. We waited for the Government to raise the literacy rate in the country, but even after 63 years of independence, we have a long way to go if we...

1 Make them feel secure in your company
2 Make your boss look good to his bosses
Karthik  |  Added idea  |  1 year ago
A boss can be jealous when he feels threatened by his sub-ords' progress/popularity. However, it can go to levels of becoming an issue if the boss feels its likely that his sub-ord is going to grow faster than him. In case of most organizations the...

Bithika Bhatnagar Trivedi  |  Supported idea  "Online pm and SaaS is the way to go"  |  2 years ago

Karthik  |  Supported idea  |  2 years ago
I agree with you Mr Das, SaaS indeed has great potential. Nevertheless, if speaking only in terms of India, among other ironies that are idiosyncratic to India, is the fact that its own IT infrastructure is poor. Just consider the speed of broadband...
aditya ghare  |  Supported idea  "Online pm and SaaS is the way to go"  |  2 years ago
Where there is SaaS, Paas or IaaS has to follow, since the backbone of Saas is going to be PaaS. For businesses it makes more sense to adopt SaaS, and for IT professionals, it's time to go the PaaS way. Developing on the cloud (PaaS) is going to...

How Choice, Co-Creation, and Culture Are Changing What It Means to Be Net Savvy By George Lorenzo , Diana Oblinger , and Charles Dziuban This article was published on the Web in October 2006 as a white paper by the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI). Introduction The vast amount of readily available information is just one reason for transforming the way we conduct research and acquire knowledge. The nature of information itself has changed. In text and other formats, information is not just created by experts—it is created and co-created by amateurs. We can select what information to receive (via RSS, for example), and it comes to us—we don't have to seek it out. More than ever before, we ...

I really do not have time to read such big article, but by going thro in short I could say that the article is good and this can be passed on to youngsters and to those people who are constantly using web.

Makrand Bhave  |  Added idea  "When ALL DRIVERS of the project say "DELIVERED"!"  |  2 years ago
That is success for a project! Product selling in the open market is a completely different exercise, though a lot of importance is needed to be given there as well. But I think that any start up is considered a Project till such stage that the...

Beneficial Outcome to all stakeholders [as rightly indicated by Mr Panjabikesan] + Relevancy of Results + Timely Completion are keys to what can be defined as a successful project. It is possible that while objectives are met, the actual outcome as...

I think you can call a project a success when: 1. You have project closure report signed by client. 2. Your project investment is under your project budget or cost of project. 3. You have got good word of mouth from your client.   Although many I...

                We have been reading the Kapil Sibal's proposed reforms in Indian Educational system. The introduction of grading system and making class X as optional etc. are highlighted by the media pursuant to 100-day plan prepared by Kabil Sibal.                While I am very happy to know that Dr.Manmohan Singh's government is trying to make the ministers work with planning, I am not impressed at the proposed reforms in Indian Educational system as proposed by Kapil Sibal. Because, we have very serious issues to concentrate than making class X as optional. It appears to be great to the people that Dr.Manmohan Singh's government is making Right Elementary Education as a fundamental ri...
Vijay Kumar Agarwal  |  Commented  |  2 years ago
Good reading. Thanks for the referral. Yes, the Education System in India does not a thorough overhaul. If you look at the senior level (university education), you find that there are not many takers for basic education components. The mad rush...

Well, i believe more than making board exams optional, we need scrap the extant assessment methods including exams. If these exams were truly indicating the intellectual capacity or at least stimulating it, India, with its exams-oriented studying would...
Viktor Stephen  |  Commented  |  2 years ago
I welcome the reforms. To make the 10th board optional and setting up a single school board at the all-India level are steps in the right direction. Gone are the days when Class 10th marks mattered. Today, admission to college/university is...
