Sibal did ...Thanks for the link. I saw the video. <br /><br />Sibal did not answer the girl asking about dependence of Indian farmers on patented seeds and fertilizers if genetically modified food is allowed. Instead he gave it a different twist like a seasoned lawyer and upcoming politician would do. <br /><br />Same for the last boy who asked about disabled students.<br /><br />Sibal appeared to be keen on presenting his Harvard credentials without talking any specific plan of foreign Universities presence in India. Talking of globalization and its benefit is very generic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-65200163119372908532009-10-31T23:55:02.069+05:302009-10-31T23:55:02.069+05:30Here is a link to video recording of Mr. Sibal'...Here is a link to video recording of Mr. Sibal's talk at MIT<br />http://techtv.mit.edu/tags/5218-sibal/videos/4310-mit-india-forum-2009<br />As is clear from the talk, the issue of great discussion in future will be whether US univs will get to do whatever they want or will it be steered by govt. rules to focus partly on local interests. If it is former will it be in making India more competitive in advanced R&D job opportunities and infrastructure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-54746517720578793882009-10-31T19:40:43.405+05:302009-10-31T19:40:43.405+05:30Sibal knows very well that all foreign companies m...Sibal knows very well that all foreign companies make investments in India because of low labor cost and high profits. <br /><br />If US Universities will not be allowed to take profit back home why will they invest in India? Sibal has been saying that profit by US universities needs to be reinvested in India.<br /><br />Only time will tell how many US Universities will open their campuses.<br /><br />The only positive thing may happen is that some faculty from IIT/IIM/IISc will have more and may be better opportunities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
