However, the regional economic disparity (West/South vs. East/North) has remained stickier than they hoped.
Recently on my Facebook memory, this clipping of India Today posted in Jan 2011 showed up. I was curious to see what has happened in last 10-15 years with respect to what was mentioned in this news item. I used Gemini AI to do the comparison.
This 2011 forecast from India Today (citing Technopak Advisors and Jansankhya Sthirata Kosh) got several big-picture trends right but significantly underestimated India’s progress in demographics and urbanization, while being overly optimistic about the economic rankings of certain states like Bihar.

My geometry teacher, Shri Mangal Deo Pande, would speak with immense pride about Dr. Narlikar’s globally recognized research. Interestingly, Dr. Narlikar’s father had been Shri Pande’s own teacher at BHU, Varanasi. At the time, Dr. Narlikar was pursuing his PhD with Dr. Fred Hoyle in Cambridge, and his work on the Steady State Model of the universe, a compelling alternative to the prevailing Big Bang theory, was a leading area of research.

In 6 years of its existence , DYPIU has been trendsetter in many ways for the whole country!
I completed my 5 years tenure at TIFAC on April 24, 2018. During farewell, my colleagues asked me what was my next plan. To keep suspense about my plans, I mentioned that I have 3 things in mind : (1) To catch up on sleep (2) To spend time with my grandson (who was about 5 months old at that time!) (3) To write a book.
However from TIFAC, I directly went to airport and took a flight to Pune in the evening. Next day (April 25, 2018), a press conference was organized to announce the starting of D Y Patil International Univ at Akurdi campus in Pune. I took a photo of nameplate and shared with my TIFAC colleagues about my next engagement and broke the suspense!
