Posted by Calcutta Board in Calcutta/Kolkata Jul 6th, 2008 | 46 responses Brain Drain in India – Favorable or Unfavorable? A brain drain is a large emigration of individuals with the Knowledge or Technical skills, usually due to conflict, political instability, lack of opportunity, or health risks. A brain drain is generally regarded as an economic cost, because emigrants usually take with them the fraction of value of their teaching sponsored by government. Do you believe brain drain, regularly known as a main problem in our country is essentially a bad thing? I don’t think so. In reality it is a big gift that capable minds are able to depart the country and track their goals and dreams elsewhere. At the first glimpse, it seems like a huge loss. A significant number of young people are parting the country. It looks like the state is loosing a lot of knowledgeable and educated workforce. However, what will happen if they seal the borders and detain all this talent inside the nation? Would they be able to grow and be as creative as they would like to? Would they cause a technological revolution or will they join the queue of unemployed people as well as produce more problems for our already worried society? The biggest benefit of brain drain is that all those individual brains will get the opportunity to nurture in another atmosphere where they get more support as
- 2. well as have more freedom to boom and this is why they leave. From a universal point of view, it will help talents develop and not be shattered. Here is a plain example, a very intelligent friend of mine got a medal in the International Physics Olympics as well as entered the university with no concourse. He graduated with most excellent marks, passed the Masters Entrance exam however was failed for some silly reason. For some time he unsuccessfully tried to get around the difficulty, but at the end he gave up and determined to study his masters out of the country. Now he is a PhD as well as lives happily and works in the States. Would someone else in his condition have done something else? I think no. Furthermore, the knowledge that those young brilliant people gain overseas will be very helpful if they choose in a later phase to go back as well as settle down or engage in their country. The fact that young cultured people leave the country in the present situation is not only good for themselves however is also good for the world. However on the other side, Brain drain is a severe loss due to the flow of the competent and effective sector of the country particularly oil producing states which are now in terrible need for trained and highly skilled employees. Brain drain influences all level of education in the world which suffers illiteracy estimation at 70 million people. The economy can also be affected due to expenditure on study whether state funded or privately. The migration even broadens the gap between the rich and poor countries. Brain drain is advantageous to the beneficiary countries as well as loss to countries of origin, because it deprives these countries from the innovations of their subjects. Such countries as a result have become culturally and technologically dependent on the West. An answer to this would be to encourage entrepreneurs to produce employment. The Government is supposed to give concessions in tax as well as decrease the hassles concerned in setting up an industry. In this way we could make India’s workforce one of its major assets.

Prerna Nathawat says: January 15, 2009 at 7:54 am well i am in favour of emigration of talented stuff because everyone wants to be best utilized as per their efficiency. if they finds scope they should go but keep the morals for their motherland to support in any manner. Afterall Patriotism matters for any concerned person 8. chinky says: January 16, 2009 at 3:13 pm The expression ‘brain-drain migration’ was popularised in the 1960s with the loss of skilled labour-power from a number of poor countries, notably India. Of particular concern was the emigration of those with scarce professional skills, like doctors and engineers, who had been trained at considerable expense by means of taxpayers’ subsidies to higher education 9. chinky says: January 16, 2009 at 3:15 pm The expression ‘brain-drain migration’ was popularised in the 1960s with the loss of skilled labour-power from a number of poor countries, notably India. Of particular concern was the emigration of those with scarce professional skills, like doctors and engineers, who had been trained at considerable expense by means of taxpayers’ subsidies to higher education It is impossible for political reasons to forbid emigration. This was a strategy closely associated with the repressive regimes in the Soviet Union and East Germany and would not be feasible or acceptable in virtually any country today. What, then, are the possible solutions to the brain drain? Emigration can be delayed. Normally, delay strategies involve some element of public service. For example, doctors may be asked to stay on for two years after their training to ‘pay back’ what they ‘owe’ to society. A more sophisticated strategy is to incorporate delay within the training period, thus ensuring that certification follows rather than precedes a spell of public service. (This is the position advanced by South Africa’s Minister of Health.)
- 6. Emigration can be inhibited either in the destination or source countries. The main constraints in the destination countries are the labour market and immigration policies, but at high skill levels another important consideration is the portability of qualifications. Increasingly, this inhibition is falling away as educational franchise operations and international certification expand. Emigration can be inhibited in the source countries by developing special privileges for scarce groups through pay incentives, enhanced research budgets and laboratory and hospital subsidies. A relaxed, market-driven solution is to ignore the emigration of skilled workers and let a brain-drain from poorer countries replace lost skills. A more interventionist variation of the market solution is to recruit in target countries while developing immigration incentives. (In Canada, for example, foreign doctors working in rural areas are given accelerated immigration status.) It might be possible to reduce the negative effects of the brain-drain by promoting links with skilled nationals and former nationals abroad 10.

Jannat says: August 21, 2009 at 5:33 pm Sir! It’s easy to say that one should go abroad , earn skills , serve there for some time and eventually come back but in reality no body wants to come back in lure of money, comfort ,satisfaction and infact there next generations also get settled there. India is developing but because of brain drain we’ll take twice the time to come in the list of developed countries.So this is particularly not beneficial for our country.
