The Limits to Growth (LTG) is a 1972 report: The model was based on the work of Jay Forrester of MIT
X axis as today , tomorrow, ....so on till next millineum.
Y axis start with me, my family.....till you reach enternality

People say me now or me today, but this perception is very important.

Day 1 -12 th June noon session summary
Summary: Reflections on Indian Higher Education and Indian Knowledge Systems
The discussion centers on the relevance, challenges, and potential of Indian wisdom and education systems in the modern context. It emphasizes the need to revisit and rejuvenate traditional Indian knowledge frameworks to address contemporary educational and societal challenges.
Key Themes:
• Indian Wisdom as a Global Template:
◦ Ancient Indian civilization posed fundamental questions about existence and consciousness, offering deep philosophical insights through texts like the Vedas and Upanishads.
◦ The Gurukula system emphasized experiential learning, observation, and spiritual growth, contrasting with today’s transactional education models.
• Challenges of Scale and Access:
◦ With a large youth population, India faces the challenge of delivering quality education at scale.
◦ Online education is expanding but its effectiveness remains uncertain.
◦ There is a risk of the demographic dividend turning into a liability if education doesn't reach all effectively.
• Need for Intellectual Independence:
◦ Despite political and economic independence, intellectual decolonization is still incomplete.
◦ Creativity and innovation are often stifled by rigid, top-down educational structures and cultural hierarchies.
◦ A mindset shift is needed to foster openness, inquiry, and self-confidence.
• Integrating Indian Knowledge with Modern Science:
◦ Indian knowledge systems are philosophical, not mystical, and can complement modern science and technology.
◦ Education should help students discover their innate capabilities, not just prepare them for technical careers.
◦ Real-world problems in India require context-specific scientific approaches, which can enrich global science.
• The Role of Technology and AI:
◦ The rise of AI introduces a new paradigm where machines may dominate content creation.
◦ There is a need to preserve and promote original human thought and creativity.
◦ Indian philosophical frameworks can offer balance and ethical grounding in this technological age.
• Call for Reflection and Reorientation:
◦ The current education model prioritizes wealth and technology over values and purpose.
◦ A cultural shift is needed to integrate Indian knowledge systems into daily life—at home, in schools, and in society.
◦ Individuals must pause, reflect, and align their actions with deeper values for personal and societal well-being.

Prof B.S Murthy
Standing on the shoulders who have come before us, we are able to see far ahead. Attribute everything achieved to the people who I have been able to associate with. That is how teachers are born. God, Ramarao and Rangarajan are Guru's/Mentors.
You become what you believe in.
Keep reading.
Good student should have 3 things:
- Have fire in your belly, not just for a job. Be in a place where you are happy. Freedom should not have price tags.
- You should be able to go to bed, thinking about the problems you have solved during the day.
- Catch hold of an youngster and excite them about your results. You should be able to drive others with your excitements
Ajai Chowdhary book Just Aspire 'A is much stronger than R' - A is aspiration, R is resources
Growth is not in academia, industry , it must come from within.
Nothing succeeds like success.
