On human attitudes and global challenges

                                              A Man is What his Mind is.

I see human attitude as the single most common factor within all challenges confronting mankind.

Geo-political, socio-economic, socio-cultural or environmental; the root cause is human mindset. 
Ironically, we invest a lot of time to understand the inanimate while overlook the animate. 

Today the nation (India) is talking about clean Ganga, Green India, Digital India, Clean India, Smart Urban landscapes, etc. Our success in these endeavors will depend on our ability to transform the Indian attitude. With an appropriate attitude, more than half of these challenges will melt.

We at the Department of Ecological Informatics, Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management - Kerala have been advocating this since last 2- 3 years. (refer to check earlier notes in this platform).
