What exactly is the Indian American Council and how did this concept come about? And, what do you hope to achieve with it?
Between Sam (Pitroda), Kiran (Pasricha, deputy director general, CII) and myself, we wanted to develop a structured, systematic, and sustained way of connecting Indian Americans into India on development matters.

Like there are people originally from Bihar in the US who want to be engaged with Bihar. So, we have set up projects for primary education, rural development and all in Bihar, where they can contribute not necessarily with money - this is not a fund-raising organization - but with ideas.

There are guys from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who are helping with e-learning and e-governance in India. So it's know-how, it's knowledge, where people take about three months off, maybe one semester, and spend it in India to help us. So, that's where we are coming from.
There is a lot of expertise here in the US among Indian Americans. There are a lot of ideas, lots of knowledge, and we need that.
