Importance of Digital India



Mckinsey has come out with a report on the impact of digital transformation on China.


Internet is not merely a tool for automation and efficiency; it also expands markets rapidly. Greater adoption of web technologies in China could lead to the introduction of entirely new products and services if government and industry take the right steps to maximize the potential.

The Internet’s impact on productivity and growth could fuel some 7 to 22 percent of China’s incremental GDP growth through 2025, depending on the rate of adoption. That translates into 4 trillion to 14 trillion renminbi in annual GDP in 2025.

Same contribution is possible in India. Digital India programme spread over many years, can contribute to 20% of India's incremental GDP. Indian GDP currently about $2 trillion can reach up to $7 trillion. This means, digital India can contribute up to $1 to 1.25 trillion by 2025. Digital India requires that new products are produced, new skills are learned by Indian engineers and graduates and many new innovations take place.
http://www.mckinsey.com/industries/high-tech/our-insights/chinas-digital-transformation

Internet of thins is an important new development in this regard. It is expected to contribute $11 trillion by 2025 to global economy.How much of it will be produced in India is an important question.

60 - 20 - 20 Rule in Educational Institutions



In educational institutions there are three important entities. Learners, Faculty, and Administration. 60% of the responsibility rests with the learner. 20% is the contribution of faculty members. 20% is the contribution of administration which determines the curriculum, textbooks, and infrastructure for the learning activities.  Faculty members help in providing a schedule to the learning activities, in making students read and listen for the first time to the material covered in the textbook. They provide some current examples apart from the ones given in the textbook, clarify the doubts that arise in the students, and by prescribing homework allow the continuation of the learning activity. The learner himself has to participate actively in the classroom, think about the material being presented, determine the issues which are not clear to him. He has to read the material number of times subsequently and think about it. He also has to do problems provided in the book, given by his teachers, available in internet websites and also think of applying the learning to issues which are in his knowledge.

Variability in learning outcomes are due to the three main agents of learning apart from the family of the learners which plays more important role in primary and high schools.

80 - 20 Rule in Democracy



What is 80 - 20 Rule in Democracy?

80% of the effort is put in and results are produced by people only.

Governments at various levels in the society contribute only 20%.

If people are not involved in the economic and social spheres wholeheartedly the society will not progress.

In a democracy people elect their representatives. They do not elect leaders who become isolated from people. They elect representatives who represent them in house of people and come back and report to them the deliberations in the house and also inform them about the changes required in their procedures to succeed in the new legal, regulatory, social and economic systems.

The involvement of representatives people in both house of representatives and among people of their constituency is vital in democracy. A democracy in which representatives of people neither attend assemblies/parliament nor interact with the people of their constitueucy is a dysfunctional democracy. It is a sick system needing treatment.

Steel


At the time of its release, the National Steel Policy 2005 had envisaged steel production to reach 110 million tonnes (mt) by 2019-20. However, based on the assessment of the current ongoing projects, both in greenfield and brownfield, the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Five Year Plan has projected that domestic crude steel capacity in the county is likely to be 140 mt by 2016-17 and has the potential to reach 149 mt if all requirements are adequately met.

The National Steel Policy 2005 is currently being reviewed keeping in mind the rapid developments in the domestic steel industry (both on the supply and demand sides) as well as the stable growth of the Indian economy since the release of the Policy in 2005.
