 Bangalore, 3 - 4 March 2003
The Indian development experience
Is Information and Communication
Technology the ticket to India’s development?
Or an impediment to overall growth? Can the
enormous growth and prosperity of ICT
continue? Or will success vaporize - moving
on to China or another country – leaving only
hopes for transformation in its wake?
Thirty-five worldwide leaders in academia
and business debated these questions,ac-
companying issues and solutions for three
days,March 3-5,at the workshop,“Learn-
ing from the Indian Development Expe-
rience ” in Bangalore..Co-sponsored by the
School of Public Policy of George Mason
University of Fairfax,Virginia,USA,and
the Department of Management Studies,
Indian Institute of Science,the workshop
sought to determine how Indian ICT has
developed,what the consequences – in--
tended and unintended – are,,and what
implications for the future may be.
The prevailing question throughout the
workshop was:“What must happen next
to keep India on a trajectory toward de-
velopment?” Results of the research and
workshop discussions will be far-reaching,
affecting business strategy,evaluation of
social programs,public policy and educa-
tional planning.
Discussion Themes of the Workshop
- India ’s Development in ICT Sector.
- Labor Market implications and Insti-
tutionalist arguments.
