You must have thought about the minds behind the faces of the policy makers. What do the bureaucrats that actually make the policies think? How do they come up with something etc?
Today, we have Dr. Jawahar Surisetti with us and you will be pleased to know that he is one of the 24 top policy makers of our country.He has also been recognised as a 'Think Professor' for his art of thinking.

Talking about how he was introduced to the Government of India, Dr. Jawahar tells us that while he was handling the charter school in the US, Dr. Manmohan Singh paid a visit to then US President, Barack Obama.
Dr. Manmohan Singh wanted to ramp up the Indian Education System, so he asked President Obama for a reference who could help with the task. As a result Dr. Jawahar Surisetti was recommended and he started working as an advisor to the Government of India.

As our host asks Dr. Jawahar what are the challenges India faces in education, he tells us that 15 years ago, access to education was a big challenge. Even today when schools are running online, about 37% of the school students are unable to access their classes because they are not digitally equipped.
However, the current government is working in an appropriate way to get the country out of this situation.

Later in the conversation, Dr. Jawahar Surisetti tells us the meaning of the 'Think Professor' and how he got this title.
He also tells us about the apps he developed.

We also get to know about the books he wrote and his very interesting ideas behind those books.

Come on board with us and listen to what Dr. Jawahar Surisetti has to share with us!
