CBS's 60 Minutes Program Features IITs

Just before the World War I, a person in USA decided to start a bank. He rented a small office and put the bank's sign on the outside wall. Next day, one customer came and deposited $100 in the bank. On the following day, another customer visited the bank and deposited $200. After two more customers deposited their money in the bank, the person who had started the bank thought that the bank was doing good business and decided to deposit his own $200 too in his bank! Many people feel good or secured when others express faith in them. On the same note, India's IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) are world class institutes for the study of engineering. However, we feel good when an outsider says so. Recently, IITs appeared on CBS Television's famous 60 Minutes program -- an interesting documentary worth watching. Here is the link to that program.
