month course in summer vacation ,you can begin in Maharashtra
itself and locate smart people like this, request them to join paid
one-month program where you make all arrangements. CSR funding
can be found for this.Because this will enable nation building by
imagining 100 chaturs are added every year out in the market,then
more beneficiaries will get generated, because each one will have to
generate.
I appeal all of you to go to the barefoot college this is a beautiful
experiment running in Rajasthan and you can go to Banker Roy, he
has done this experiment in Barefoot college to create solar engineers
because he identified electricity and power shortage as a problem.
Now, who are the students in Barefoot college? all students in barefoot
college are women and now this model has gotten so popular that,
African government is also sending their students and all these
students are learners are old ladies they will go back to their village
and place these things ,they create solar equipment they are trained
to even maintain this, they were always deprived of electricity but
if I train woman the woman never thinks of leaving village so this is
his reasoning we appeal you to look at barefoot college model and
replicate or digital chatur , is it legal for a number of students? That
needs to be seen.
If you want, you can even become partner of Barefoot college you
go and meet Banker Roy to become college partner you set up a
barefoot College in Maharashtra. So, in order anyway that is beside
the point but the point is related to your five trillion-dollar economy
question all these things if there is power shortage, economy gets
affected but imagine if everybody in India gets power at a reasonable
cost I’m not advocate of free power.

Q. How can information technology and other technological development
be the accelerator towards five-trillion-dollar ambition?
A. There was no establishment running for two months but we got huge
bills during lockdown so I don’t know from what was the logic of
bills if office was closed ideally they should be near zero charges.
How can you charge lakhs of rupees for office which is closed? So
these are things which should not happen and should ideally look
for almost all the settings in the light of IT Because of this move
every sector has embraced technology so they are aware of what
solutions are possible. I don’t want to single out any sector as most
