Dear Friends,
I came to know Dr. Nagarjuna some time back. He is most
enthusiastic like many of us, backed by heaps of experience.
Can I ask Indra to punch in some time with the Ministry to make
this introduction happen ? Although I am now ot in SXC, I think you can
still get the support of SXC a lot (Ananda Dasgupta, Dept. of Physics,
is the man now). Also, Father P. C. Mathew, the Principal shall be
interested in such an interaction. Please, can you make this possible,
for Calcutta really needs this introduction, especially when the Govt.
is going for implementing computers in a amjor way in the schools, the
IBM and others are readyto take up this offer for a good amount of
business, and the exchequer is poor enough to meet this realisable, and
to do it, only one place (from my presumption, which shall not be very
wrong) can be seriously affected --- the salaries of many teachers and
the pension of mny retired teachers !!!
Thanking you,
