REVERSE BRAIN DRAIN

A nation of over a billion, largely imports foreign tech for mostly everything from defence to agriculture.
However, 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan' can't be sustained on imported outdated tech. And the biggest irony of this all is, the tech we borrow usually comes from firms which employ our own scientists. The ones who chose to move abroad because of adverse conditions back home.

But now there is some hope with the new government taking positive steps in this direction.The Ministry of Science and Technology has approached about a dozen well-known scientists from across the world in an effort to bring them back to various departments in Bharat.

It's preparing ground for their assimilation in our research institutions, universities and labs.
The ministry also plans to float various fellowships going forward and create a conducive environment to hold back such talent on a permanent basis. Which means fresh grads will have a lot to look forward to back home rather than exploring options abroad.

The industry will also be involved and various scientists from reputed institutions abroad have shown interest.
Day is not far when these foreign nations will ask our scientists not to leave, who wants to lose such talent ?
