Aug 24 2012: Bunker Roy, I wonder if you'll read this. Congratulations on setting up Barefoot college and making thousands of people feel and live, hope and happiness. Thank you for demonstrating what an idea can turn into with vision and hard work. I have earmarked Barefoot college for my second life - once my kids are grown and don't need me as much, I'm coming over to see how you can put me to use in the college. I do have a degree so I hope I still qualify :) but I know I can teach and can be taught and hope I can be of useful service to you.
Jul 30 2012: This is not so much an attempt to answer your question CTT, then it is a plead to let Vinay continue with his project. Big corporates have historically not catered to the bottom of the urban pyramid (BOUP) segments yet this is changing as corporates realise potential earnings from the BOUP sheer volume in developing nations. Yes, it probably is illegal in part, but what Vinay and his team is doing has immense value and impact to the lives of millions. Corporates should act flawsomely by leaving him be or better still, contribute to making his projects scaleable.
