Meta University - Age has come

Interesting thinking, world is going through information revolution. Having a ubiquitous university which allows you to take the course from the best place possible is the way to go. Universities can build on their expertise and attract the best talent. It will allow students to have cross disciplinary learning and specialise on topics they want.

Few other ways such a knowledge network can be leveraged
1. Would be useful if such a knowledge network can be tapped by corporations to provide specific learning to their employees
2. Organisations that are open can provide support to do specific courses employees want to do. Because widening knowledge increases tangential thinking.

It is heartening to know that this article is written by a person belonging to PMO though it is his personal opinion. People part of such high office can do a lot to the country. I just hope his views become a reality.
