Yesterday I was looking for any small IT firm to redo the networking in my office. There were several some months ago.

On detailed enquiries I found that the young entrepreneurs who were running these had relocated to their native villages to take up farming

1/n
They had some ancestral land belonging to them and they took to growing vegetables, paddy, fruits etc. They were lucky.

I was also told that these youngsters were unmarried and not bound to family with school going kids. Such of those who were not so lucky are still stuck.

2/n
The ones who left the cities & towns have said that they will see how things evolve over next 2 yrs. They are happy with revenues from agriculture. This is a very good sign.

It is time to rethink of productivity and make necessary changes in these sectors.

3/n
Basic Engineering education and course content needs to be relooked and revamped.

Chemical industry should be strengthened keeping in mind India's strengths.

May be #Corona will help redesign for a better world.
