Dear Friends,
Bihar is a land of great ancient educational history. Universities like Nalanda and Vikramshila in Bihar were the IITs and IIMs of ancient India. Although these universities have long ceased to function, education has continued to remain uppermost in the priorities of the people of Bihar. Parents overlook their privations to ensure education for their children. Unfortunately, owing to the uncertain environment in the state and the dismal situation of local educational institutions, they have to perforce send their children to study outside the state. Generations of Biharis have been studying, working, spending and investing outside their home state. As a ballpark, one-fifth of the one hundred million population of the state comprise the youth. A significant part of Bihar’s youngest and brightest are studying and living outside the state. Those who cannot afford higher education outside the state, drop out of school after class ten.
Creating a knowledge-led economy and knowledge-based societies in the world is a key to survival and development of people in the emerging knowledge era.
Maharashtra Knowledge Corporation envisages (MKCL) believes that there exists a great potential in our society to emerge as a knowledge-led economy due to its large but latent talent pool of young population. The challenge exists, however, in transforming its predominantly agrarian or industrial economy into a new knowledge-led economy by developing its talent pool in right direction.
Only an IT Literate society can enjoy a greater share of global knowledge resources, business opportunities and global job opportunities.
MKCL is an entrepreneurial endeavor to bridge this Digital Divide and the resultant Knowledge Divide and Opportunity Divide by offering actionable knowledge and essential services to masses for socio-economic transformation.
Aside developing the Talent Pool MKCL also provides a great oppurtunity to the educated youths nationwide along with Bihar to be an entrepreneur. The Master Franchisee appointed in every state facilitates in indentifing such entrepreneuers, develope business plan for them, assist in procuring capital (if required), and hand held them from establishment satge to independent status in establishing Self Owned IT Training Institute.

MKCL’s synthesis of a new paradigm of transformation is to offer education, governance and empowerment solutions and services:
- to a very large population with various diversities : Bigger
- with high quality of relevance and applicability in life and work : Better
- at an affordable cost : Cheaper
- within a shortest possible time : Faster
- with a wide accessibility from metros to villages: Wider
- in a mass-personalized manner: Deeper personal experience
MKCL is attempting to address these six challenges simultaneously through the pervasive and appropriate use of IT and through its unique public-private-community partnership network.
MKCL is thus attempting to help lay the foundations of knowledge society so critical for the survival, development and empowerment of the masses in general and youth in particular.
