		<description>Ambarish Chaudhary is rightly looking for a private initiative. The governments can spend lot of money on buildings and land but little or none on human development.

Yes it is possible to have a business plan. The plan which is human and does not uproot the people from their soil and surroundings. Let us call it eDevlopment of Local Area (eDoLA)

A pilot project can be started with about Rs. 12 crores excluding the cost of land. This will sustain about 400 persons.

The structure is:
               10 Nodes - A node will have a node facilitator.
                     Each node has 4 units. Each unit will be headed by  
                     eDevelopment technopreneurs.        
                            Each unit will have 10 eDevelopment Workers
These nodes will be at different geographical locations but not too far away. Each Node will be over an area of say 2 acres in a rural area.

Expected revenue generation: 
All nodes
First year      (After 2 years of training)    12 crores 
Second year (After 2 years of training)    20 crores
Third year    (After 2 years of training)	   40 crores
It is expected that these nodes will generate interest in the local 
population and even people from outside to set up their units around 
these nodes. These units may work independently or in association with 
the nodes under eDoLA.
Revenue from units likely to be set up outside eDoUA net with or without assistance from eDoLA
Third year    (After 2 years of training)      10 crores
Fourth year  (After 2 years of training)      50 crores
Fifth year      (After 2 years of training)   100 crores
Sixth year     (After 2 years of training)   400 crores

eDoLA will be run on a cooperative model in which each unit is independent and not a drag on others. Likewise more enterprising units can set their own pace.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the comments.

I think on the electricity front the 2003 electricity act has removed the legal bottlenecks facing the electricity sector but its only been 5 years and these things take time. Ditto for start up funding ecosystem which should address credit.

On point 3 I am more gung ho that its a solvable problem faster. For a large player it should also be possible to start a teacher staffing service where the company trains teachers (maybe including getting them oxbridge educated) and deploys them as consultants in colleges. I am sure a private company will work out the incentives or disincentives to retain the teachers much more effectively. This is also a loophole for a large college to create a profitable venture since in India education is a non-profit enterprise by law. Someone like Manipal could create this for-profit company and find itself as the first client easily making profits in white.</description>

		<description># 3 - There have been programs in Indian where engineering college students have been sponsored to go to IIT&#039;s for MTech and they had to come back and teach in the sponsoring college for 1-2 yrs. I read that most of them ended up paying the bond and taking up industry jobs after finishing their MTech.</description>

		<description>Beautiful write up.

Can these action items for authorities be instead translated into a business plan for a large private player?</description>
