India, and 2014 Internet Hall of fame inductee, http://internethalloffame.org/inductees/srinivasan-ramani, has put up a post on his blog titled, Regulating private educational institutions, http://obvioustruths.blogspot.com/2014/07/regulating-private-educational.html, which refers to this Indian CS & IT academic reform activism blog. He writes, "Ravi Iyer runs an interesting blog titled the Indian CS & IT Academic Reform Activism" (blog) and then goes on refer to discussions on this blog about profit-oriented private sector education.

I view this reference as an important and honourable one which encourages me in my efforts to improve the practice of software development in Indian Computer Science and Information Technology academia (higher education) in particular, and improve teaching standards in Indian academia (higher education) in general. I am very thankful to Dr. S. Ramani for these encouraging comments.
