A Survey On Reverse Brain Drain And Its Relevance To India

Abstract

Brain Gain, a much talked of word in the Sixties was characterized by the movement of technically skilled and qualified Indians to developed countries in search of better education and employment opportunities. Today, however, the trend seems to be changing. The global economic crisis of 2007-08 affecting mainly the developed western countries, accelerating pace of economic development in India and the opening up of our economy has facilitated this phenomenon. The Government has to take steps to sustain this human capital if India has to emerge as a Global Brain Power in the near future.
