IBM Leads in promoting IT related education in within India

The first and foremost requirement for any country to be successful is their youths and children. If they are educated, then the nation succeeds. By education, I don't mean everyone attending the classrooms or schools, but be responsible, be knowledgeable and be aware of surroundings.

These days, with the advent of IT, IT education is becoming part of most of the educational systems. IT education for children should not be limited to mere having ability to play games and remain in the home hooked up to the internet; nor giving them tools to help them complete their homeworks. But, it should be in such a way that the best can be brought of their young minds. What are they thinking, how well they behave?

I think, IBM is doing better than many other IT companies in India to promote IT education at multiple level. Some of my colleagues are taking personal interest to enable rural students in IT and I think that is a great work as long as the direction is right and out come is positive.
