Staggering white-collar success of Bengaluru has left a non-urban world behind, says Bagchi
Bagchi, Karnataka’s new Skill Vision Group chairman, says Bengaluru’s rapid white‑collar growth has left many non‑urban areas behind. He notes that while IITs have advanced steadily since the 1950s, ITIs have fallen behind. He urges that the two education streams work together, moving in the same direction to balance development. This calls for skill development policies that bridge the gap between urban and rural pools.
