Nagpur, The engineer's town

I was in Nagpur to visit my sis-in-law. She is a 2nd year engineering student. I spend a weekend there with Gouri my sis-in-law and her friends the would be engineers of India and the world. There are around 80 engineering colleges in Nagpur and its surrounding. Every year the number is growing and even existing colleges are hosting another one in their campus. This is a good business in the name of education. Due to Gouri I got the opportunity to visit her college in Nagpur. The place where the college is located is surrounded by many other similar engineering, nursing, medical, etc colleges. So it is a so-called township of colleges and their hostels. The campus I have visited was beautiful and big. They have good facilities for students like computer lab, library etc. I talked with many faculties, they seems to be very enthusiastic too. As a whole Nagpur is a global village working very hard to supply educated labors to the world market. I have no complain about this, because this one of the many industries running in India without taking any grant from Indian government but producing bunch of people who will give large amount of tax to our government. This is only win-win situation for India.

I am back to Germany

After 1 month of busy schedule in India at last I am back to Germany to my family to my daughter. Last 1 month was for me to realize India. I traveled a lot from south to north and from west to far east. I was in Bangalore, Pune, Bombay, Delhi, Nagpur, Guwahati, Kolkata, Kharagpur and Bolpur. This gave me the great opportunity to see my motherland so closely. I have noticed that India has changed a lot. It is progressing every day. Small cities are getting more and more attractions and they are advancing. Metro cities are now becoming world class with their new infrastructure and facilities. But what about rural India. I visited only for few hours to my uncle’s home in a village in Birbhum district of West Bengal. I see the change in lifestyle. Few years back there was no phone and when I was a child there was no electricity no road. But now the village is well connected with electricity, phone, mobile, internet and roads. The attitude of the people also changed. They observe the prosperous India in television and get their vision to hard work and change the lifestyle. This is all the part of development. I hope India and its government will keep the attitude towards a progressive country.
