In the 60s, When we didn't have food to eat, we created an independent body called ICAR as an agent of change, put agri experts in charge, facilitated awesome collaboration between local knowledge & international expertise, gave them complete freedom of action and eliminated the traditional Indian babudom
Result - We are the largest producer of food in the world
When we didn't have milk, we created an independent body called NDDB as an agent of change, put a hard driving Dr Kurien in charge, gave him complete freedom and eliminated the traditional Indian babudom
Result - We are the largest milk producer in the world
When we found we were lagging in digital payments, we created an independent body called Npci as an agent of change, put bankers and industry experts in charge and eliminated the traditional Indian babudom
Result - We have one of the largest and most used digital payment ecosystem in the world
Today we are afraid we will lose the battle on AI and Technology
We have a solution which has worked very well in the past and has saved us from many a crisis.
The only question is, Do we have the will to implement it?
