India: Brain or Brain Drain (Part 2)

India has the most working population today, it produces most number of doctors and engineers, best minds in mathematics and science and lot of stuff I could use to chatter but the main point is, is every individual high analytic mind working for the country?

The answer is unfortunately no, there are numerous reasons for the brains of the nation going out of the international border and work out just to get better reputation and off course more money. Let’s find out the reasons behind it, shall we?

Brain Drain: The concept

Let’s go a little boring bookish, Brain drain is the flow of skilled and trained person from a country (where he got trained, is citizen of that country) to some another country and using those learned skills for betterment of the new country.

Reasons

• ·        Main cause particularly for India is
• ·        Lesser opportunities
• ·        Low pay scales
• ·        Under developed economy
• ·        Poor working facility
• ·        Low professional environment
• ·        Lack of scientific tradition
• ·        Many other government and cultural reasons.

So what the other developed nation offers is off course

• ·        Better economic prospects
• ·        High wages
• ·        Better living facilities
• ·        Improved living standards
• ·        Intellectual freedom
• ·        Better working environment

Root Cause

Nothing Specific but one might say it is one of the government responsibility to stop such things from happening. The second fact is the cultural differences; some of the industries in India are governed and rather dictated by specific cultural groups.

Problem arise out of Brain Drain

The most important and money related problem is economic impact, say the money these people earn actually belongs to India and the tax they pay to the other nation actually belongs to Indian government. As per a fact published by some economist on net the average revenue loss of 200,000 students per year to other universities, the fee income paid to the foreign institutes belongs to India technically (Dude that was an economic dossier for me)

 Solution

My view, the fundamentals are weak. If the government spends more money in building education facilities and less in subsidies the problem may solve as India is skilled enough to do so but I don’t understand why the leaders are so reluctant, May be they are waiting for this issue to take some political wardrobe.

Anyways, it’s not that they are doing nothing they brought Mr Rajam back to the country that becomes the concept known as reverse brain drain. We hope that the country brings back everyone.
