It makes me feel good when I hear news of Indian IT companies addressing social concerns and doing something positive in that direction. I am not very sure if companies are the right institutions for social improvement activities but for India anything in that direction is welcome.
I had heard a lot about TCSs' efforts in rural literacy in AndhraPradesh. Infosys ofcourse has been doing a lot in similar areas through Infosys foundation.
Just read on rediff about Wipro's plans to re-skill teachers.
The companies and their leaders are proving that their intent is more than earning dollars. Wouldn't it be great if these activities are co-ordinated by a body, which can be formed including members from all these companies?
Why should the social activities of IT companies be co-ordinated? Maybe because such a move might not only help in producing better results for India in these activities but also serve as a forum for a lot more...(I leave it at that) Monday, June 24, 2002
