1. Aalborg, Denmark, 8-9 October 2012 Education and Standardization in India, way ahead. Prof. S.S. Inamdar, Secretary, Vishwaniketan; Trustee, GISFI ssinamdar31@rediffmail.com Joint ITU-GISFI-DS-CTIF Standards Education Workshop (Aalborg, Denmark, 8-9 October 2012)

2. Indian context – Education, Industry & Standardization. CTIF India, GISFI Vishwa-Niketan, I4CT Future plans

3. 500+ Universities in India, we need 1775 by 2020. 3200+ Engineering colleges, More than 1.2 million seats. 10 million students appearing 12 th /HSC. The Client- not well informed. In 2015, “Knowledge Commission of India” estimates 15 million students passing HSC, 2 million aspirants for Engineering Education, can we provide them opportunity of excellent learning, and then employment? Limited innovation, research, IPRs and Product Development. Producing standards minded graduates-obviously not much.

4. Employability Potential of graduates ? Scope for improvement of quality of Teacher ? Usefulness to society – the basic Agenda of research ? What is investment to patents – ratio of India / Other countries ? How many commercial Technology products are based on Indian Research ? Why only about 2 % Indian Engineers are ‘ Software Architects’ ? Who will develop products for critical Indian market? Project / Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Entrepreneurships. Collaborations for mutual benefits, global Business models ? CTIF, GISFI and many more initiatives of this kind !

5. Huge market opportunities, GDP growth of 6% for next 10 years, 24% growth in middle class by 2020. Global solutions for local requirements-missing. Very few established networks in Industry – R & D – Academic institutes, in true sense. Industry aware about standardization process, efficient use. Local, less expensive products need to be developed
