Indian Digital Service Forum

Due to role of  Corona spread, China  has lost status of favorite destination for investment by global IT companies.

Recently  Microsoft, Google and many other companies have announced their plans of huge investments in India and this will  definitely give a boost to employment and development projects in IT infrastructure and communication media.  Ofcourse, it should be realised that its impact on business and industry will be  twofold i.e. generation of new opportunities and threat of worldwide competition with mighty international firms

In India, due to increased dependency on financial resources, there are more threats than opportunities due to these developments. The  foreign investments will open up new acquisitions, throttle local business growth and create channels for import of foreign goods and services causing damage to small industries and local business units.

However, we have huge skilled human resource available at low cost and its mobilization can transform the situation into quality improvement , capacity increase and new opportunities in export of products and services world over.The spirit of nationality and love of regional languages are main strong points for protection and growth of small indigenous units.

Educational institutes and in particular, Engineering colleges can play a significant role in protecting the  local business and industry and empower them to grow in spite of competition by foreign companies.

Role of Educational Institutes

Educational institutes can  become main agents for digital  transformation and development of society and region in their area,  if they take initiative in such joint projects and provide necessary finance and infra-structural facilities.

This will help the institutes to develop strong bonds with local community and implement sustainable business model  with generation of self employment opportunities for students.
