1. Suggested Actions for PAN IIT Members
All the PAN IIT members can write a page each on how they succeeded in their career after completing the IIT education.
Each one of you can give your opinion on what you can do for uplifting your native village.
You can make your suggestion on how we can improve the IIT education and make the IIT education available to the members of the rural sector in the present Indian context.
Pan IIT members can team up as five member team and they can suggest entrepreneurial projects for the rural sector which can have products or services for meeting the global requirements based on native strength and core competence. Take up this project in a mission mode and complete the project plan and business proposals and make it available in the website with in six months.
PAN IIT can have collaboration with CII, FICCI to select suitable entrepreneurs in different regions from the rural sector for the implementation of the enterprise.

2. Suggested Actions for PAN IIT Members
Members of the PAN IIT can study my website, where I have given my views on PURA Concept and PURA Implementation Strategy. Keeping this in mind the members can suggest typical PURA suited for their regions.
PURA Modes – Periyar PURA and BAIF.
Consider activating the village tanks pertaining to your village with in the next year.
Consider providing knowledge connectivity to your school where you started your first education.
Consider supporting the establishment of tele-medicine facility to the inaccessible rural areas near by your village.
IIT today has moved away from selecting the most “brilliant minds” to the most “prepared mind”, you should contribute to bringing the past glory of selecting and nurturing the most brilliant minds.
Pan IIT members may not just concentrate on only IIT’s and related improvements but may think to serve all Indian people – some very poor, some very ill-connected etc.,

1.10 Vision, Mission & Goals
We have so far considered the profile of knowledge society, multiple components and system integration. It emerged from the deliberations of the task force that the core strengths of the nation have to be coupled to the desired goals. The nation’s strengths predominantly reside in its natural and human resources. In natural resources, India is endowed with a vast coast-line with marine resources and also oil wealth. In minerals, apart from conventional material resources, it is well-known that India has the largest deposits of titanium, beryllium and tungsten. India ranks among the top few nations having a rich bio-diversity. Particularly, in the herbal area there are potential applications for developing multiple products for nutrition, prevention and cure of diseases. Of the global herbal product market of US$ 61 billion, China has a share of around US $ 3 billion, whereas India’s share is not even US $ 100 million. Hence, there is tremendous opportunity for growth in this area. India has similar potential for promoting floriculture and aquaculture in a big way. Knowledge-based value addition for these natural resources would mean exporting value-added products rather than merely the raw materials. Use of IT for commercialisation and marketing can increase our outreach and speed enormously. Ancient knowledge is a unique resource of India for it has the treasure of a minimum of 5000 years of civilisation. It is essential to leverage this wealth for national well being as well as to seek global presence for the nation.
Human resources, particularly with large young population, are unique core strength of the nation. This resource can be transformed through various educational and training programmes. Skilled, unskilled and creative manpower can be transformed into wealth generators particularly in the service sectors, agro industries etc. Knowledge-intensive industries can be generated out of our existing industries by injecting demand for high-level software/hardware, which would bring tremendous value addition. It is said, “the precious asset for a company or a country is the skill, ingenuity and imagination of its people. With globalisation, this will become more important because everybody will have access to world class technology and the key distinguishing feature will be the ability of people in different countries to use their imagination to make the best use of the technology”. Indeed development and innovative use of multiple technologies with transparent management structure and coupled with IT, will catapult India into a knowledge super power
