Is brain drain still affecting India?

The world might have become a global village now, but the ghost of brain drain still continue to haunt India as talented young students continue to go overseas every year for education, as well as employment opportunities.

 Brain drain costs India Rs 50,000 crore per year.Can we opt that money to call the youth from abroad .Other countries are earning huge revenue through foreign students, unlike India. Australia earns nearly $12 billion yearly from around 400,000 foreign students. Singapore plans to have 150,000 foreign students, while India gets only 27,000.
According to my point of view, India is not so rich country, as welfare money doesn't reached to right persons. so how will this task place but we come up with some systematic scheme then this transformation may be done.

Interestingly, countries like America, England and Australia are earning billions of dollars through foreign students. But India, instead of earning money, is losing Rs 50,000 crore per year in the form of foreign exchange revenues due to mass departure of students chasing higher studies in engineering, medical, commuter and management overseas. As per a report, which had recently been released by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry, with these funds, almost 20 IITs and IIMs might be started per year to make available quality education and efficiently put an end to brain drain.


A UNITED Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) report in 1969, had defined brain drain as, ’an abnormal form of scientific exchange between countries, characterized by a one- way flow in favour of the most highly developed countries’. Almost four decades later, the definition of brain drain has not changed a great deal with talented students still leaving the shores of developing countries in pursuit of better opportunities in the developed nations.
To think of it, India has become the outsourcing hub of the world, where all international companies are also setting shop. But this outsourcing has also meant that the talented bunch of students, who cannot find good job opportunities in India have to travel abroad in search of better job profiles. More than 25 per cent of the medical staff in America and the Britain consists of doctors, who attended medical school elsewhere. These are the same students who got trained in India, Pakistan or China and have now moved abroad for better opportunities. In the year 2008, maximum students going to the United States of America in order to study were from India. Most of these students, after finishing their education, get recruited and more often than not settle abroad.

A report by the World Bank had placed India third in terms of brain drain, even ahead of China and Germany. The first two slots were taken up by Britain and Philippines. Even though the numbers represent more than a million, the percentage of Indian immigrants to foreign countries represents just five per cent of the total graduate population. When we compare this to some of the African and central American countries, it is still a low figure. Almost 47 per cent of the student population of Ghana goes abroad, whereas 89 per cent of the student population of Guyana go abroad. Well, this just can’t be called brain drain, this is brain haemorrhage.
But still brain drain continues to be a cause of concern for India, for we are getting used to thousands of students going abroad every year for education. Former Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam had said that reverse brain drain will have to begin if India is to become a developed nation in the future. But the percentage of students coming back after studying overseas is not very high and hence efforts will have to be made to reduce the number of students going out in the first place. For this, we will have to revamp our education system and also include more higher education institutions in the country so that students do not have to look for alternatives elsewhere. The migration of students might have helped in ’brand India’ becoming more powerful, but the image of India needs to change in the future. We shouldn’t just be a country that produces great talent, but also the one that nurtures and builds on it. Every Indian is proud of the fact that he is an Indian, but we will have to wait for the day till he is proud of being in India.

 But it we want to reverse the brain gain and want to convert it into to "Brain -Gain" than it is very easy task for Indian government if we provide some incentives to scientists returning from abroad to india and give their performance in many research field.According to my point of view I would say that india is also the land of  opportunities.there is many option but youth need to be devoted to their work and search many option and come up with their new ideas.
India had experienced the ‘Brain Drain’ till 20th century and still it is going on and Indian professionals are opting to go abroad to work. At the same time, another report says that the scenario is being changed in reverse direction now.

Scientists find clue to stop brain tumor growth

Hii, I am hervinder singh. today I have noticed that one person in group three person is facing the brain tumor problem. and there is no solution to solve the brain tumor growth ,surgery was only the single option.Now in
Washington, Scientists have discovered a pathway between deadly cancerous cells which they believe could be blocked to inhibit their growth and malignancy. 


An international team of scientists at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) at the University of California claimed that they have found a new signalling pathway between glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells -- the most aggressive form of malignant glioma, or brain tumour, cells. 

This cells is the major reason of tumor growth. Now, in reasearch, 
According to scientists, more than other types of cancer, GBMs are diverse assemblages of cell subtypes featuring great genetic variation. Anti-cancer therapies that target a specific mutation or cellular pathway tend to be less effective against such tumour heterogeneity.

"These myriad genetic alterations may be one of the primary reasons why GBMs are so lethal," said Frank Furnari, a professor of medicine at LICR and co-author of the study.

Even with maximum treatment effort, the median patient survival rate for a diagnosed GBM is nine to 12 months -- a statistic that has not changed substantially in decades, he said.

However, Furnari and his colleagues noted that in GBMs only a minority of tumour cells possess a mutant form of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene. These cells drive the tumour's rapid, deadly growth.

Furnari said: "Most GBM tumor cells express wild-type or normal EGFR. Yet when expressed by itself, wild-type EGFR is a poor oncogene."

"The mutant cells are instructing other less malignant tumour cells to become more malignant," he said, adding this signalling pathway between GBM tumour cells was not known and presents a new and potentially promising chink in the armour of glioblastomas.

"If we can inhibit or block this cellular communication, the tumour does not grow as quickly and may be more treatable," Furnari said.

So, medical science are coming up with new invention, but doing that particular things we can find a new solution and human lifetime may be increased by stopping these type of diseases causing serious results.

workfrustration:keep yourself cool

Workplace frustration is a growing concern for many organizations these days, it's a problem that may be increasing more in the IT sector, writes Patrick Thibodeau of Computerworld.

Present day multinational companies are against old loyal employees with them and these loyal and committed employees are mentally harassed till they leave the company. Government should interfere and ensure that these type of malpractices and working hour be regulated to 8 hrs to reduce mental torture and stress in work.            
According one IT worker, taking part in the discussion, in the IT sector, it's all about getting the job done, no matter how many hours people work. There are lots, lots of people in IT who are expected to work far more than a 40-hour week, according to another IT worker.
In Boston, an organization of IBM users meeting at the Share conference held an informal discussion entitled "The Mythical 40-Hour Week". In the session, it was emerged that work frustration is building among IT workers for mainly three reasons - work days lengthen, pay remains stagnant and career growth appears forbidden.

According to Corporate Executive Board (CEB) in Washington, although companies are getting more unpaid hours from their workers, it is the companies themselves who are getting hurt in other ways. Human beings are treated like machines here rather its slavery at its best or its known as High Tech Slavery. They have to churn out this much number of components irrespective of what the number of lines of code or what effort it takes. No consideration is paid for a new entrant’s either they are expected to . What happens is, the human effort spent is not taken into account. People are encountering health problems, high blood pressure and various health issues at young age spending 10-14 hours a day in their cubicles.
SUGGESTION  :

• this platform, work for next 3-5 years, earn how much ever you want and then enjoy with your family. 

•  Its nothing else but our own ambitions and aspirations that make us suffer the most..

 You can post your suggestion also to find out a solution of this problem.
