Why don't the members familiar with Information Technology form a expert IT 
focus group with in IPI and draw up plans for Indian IT sector, (after much 
debate, of course) as if they had all the resources and decision making 
power.

Unless we know what we want in short-term,and in long term,  we will not 
know what to do.

Truth is somewhere in between Mr. Aggarwals optimism and others reality.

Let us seek it.

Some ideas:

1)Recruit school childern as part time programmers, while paying for their 
education. (We needn't outsource to no- body)

2)Shift focus to "system Software" as opposed to Application development 
alone. (You can correct me if I am wrong)

Now throw out some ideas, show how good you are in IT.

Back from my short vanvas.
