GLocal Challenges : Excellence through Quality & Innovation

GLocal Challenges: Excellence through Quality and Innovation

New global order which has already ingrained and making us connect, communicate, with each other and with immortal things not limited to locally but globally. There is no better time and the felt need than now for addressing and aligning the local issues with the global one. We are on an improvement track whether it is competitiveness, or ease of doing business (our global ranking is on an increase on both these vital indexes) is concerned. These days although, we are already integrated with the world economy and if we wish to continue to compete globally and move up the ladder of competitiveness then we need to be engaged more intensely with the world. Hence it is imperative to be aware of the global issues and be accordingly mold ourselves so that we can steer up and remain there among the top league of nations. It is this felt need that we are launching the book on GLocal theme to understand our local responses to the global challenges.

The World Economic Forum’s Global InformationTechnology Report 2016, explores some of the ways in which network readiness is essential to enabling the creation and use of emerging technologies. The report reveals that countries looking to capitalize on economic gains of ICTs (Information & Communication Technology) should promote not just access, but also adoption and use of digital networks. In the recent past in India the private sector made it accessible the internet technology (of course on the government created IT infrastructure!) and later the central government popularized it by incentivizing net users (during Demonetization, GST implementation etc.). Even cash awards by way of direct credit to their bank account were given away to general public to familiarize them further with the use and promote online access. Access, Adoption and Use all three were conceptualized and acted upon by the Govt. of India. These efforts were more driven by the good implementation intentions than anything else to take the country to the next level.
