| For Indian professionals US lure is fading | | |
For several thousand Indian professionals,skilled and unskilled workers America has remained a dream destination for the last over five decades.It has been a major brain drain from India to various western countries.But primarily the cash rich United States has held a charm for Indian doctors,engineers,IT professionals,teachers,physiotheraphists,for people well versed in the field of pharmacy,biochemistry and biotechnology.While majority of the Indian professionals left for the United states for better emoluments,others were lured by various facilities that were available in laboratories,libraries,fields and factories.The lure of the facilities and pecuniary gains in the United States was so powerful that majority of the Indians preferred to secure American citizenship and others managed to prolong their stay after securing green cards.Once green cads were secured many Indians took their family members,even the parents,to the united states.Whether as a
result of better facilities or on account of job satisfaction a large number of Indians earned name as successful engineers,doctors,physicists,scientists and even businessmen and politicians.At present number of Indian scientists and academicians have been appointed advisers by the American President,Barack Obama.However,signs of brain drain in a reverse order have started becoming visible after the economic meltdown in the western countries in 2009-2010.
A stage has come when a large number of Indian engineers and other professionals,settled in the United st ates for the last over a decade or so, plan to return to their country of birth.A latest survey has revealed that the United States may experience reverse brain drain as thousands of Indian IT professionals contemplate returning to India. According to a survey conducted by Corp-Corp.com, a US-based technology job portal a large number of Indian professionals plan to return to the country of their birth after they have found job avenues in India were of a high standard as far as emoluments and facilities were concerned.The finding was based on a survey of more than 1,000 survey respondents of Indian origin, nearly half of which were IT professionals that plan to return to India.About 50 per cent of the respondents have plans to return soon, while 6.4 per cent of them have already returned to their homeland.Survey participants
included
permanent residents, US citizens and work visa holders.
Fifty-one per cent said their decision was based on wanting to rejoin family and 26 per cent cited better opportunities as the reason to return to their homeland.Around 10 per cent are planning to return for they believe their kids will get a better education in India. Reports reveal that a large number of Indians settled in the United States and other western countries had felt a bit frustrated and worried after they found their children having been lured by open westernisation.But they had to reverse their opinion after many among them found Indian metropolitan cities more westernised than the west as far as dress,sex and other social evils were concerned. Still they believe that there is a degree of difference because in India people continue to attach importance to social values,traditions and culture.Since majority of the Indian professionals have earned a lot of money they wish to spend the remaining part of their lives
among
people who have culture and language similar to the NRIs.They plan to opt for a return journey to India after they felt satisfied with the job and wage opportnunities in India.Apart from the publiuc sector ent erpriss the multinational and pure Indian companies offer highly luc ative jobs to professinals and those who return from the western countries are given better jobs and wage scale than the locals.If even 50 per cent Indian professionals return to India it can help the country in achieving bigger success stories in industrial and agricultural sectors.
