Symbian has completed making the entire source code, of its highly appreciated smart phone operating system, an open source. This move is one of the largest changes in business models towards open source model. Open source are software which can be appended and used by anybody who wishes to do so. This symbian software is valued at more than a billion dollar.
Why have they done it? The foundation says that it will promote innovation and help the platform develop much better applications than what symbian could do alone. However, strategically this move is going to hit the various smart phone manufacturers. This will reduce the entry barrier for new players and would increase the competition in this segment. It is not far when we could see these smart phones in every human being’s hands.

Supporting the needy to become self dependent by means of education, is one of the most effective ways to increase the quality of life and Infosys Technologies practices it. Support in education to the needy is one of the many fields in which Infosys Foundation gives back to the society for a better tomorrow.

The reservation system for education in India targets the backward class people but not the economically backward people. However there are some NGOs like Prerna, doing the right job.

Note:The average annual per capita income of Indians is not even $1,000 compared to $40,000 of some developed countries.

Is this the answer to the reservations in education system of developing countries like India?
