Answer 1

Can you ever imagine a country without engineers, scientists, doctors and other professionals? That is exactly what is happening in India. US and UK Corporations have caused the ultimate brain drain in India. Most of the talented students are running after dollar driven outsourcing work from the US or UK, working and learning IT and/or call center work. It is estimated 78% of Indian engineers from mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Civil, Instrumentation, Chemical and Biomedical engineering leave their field after graduation and work for BPO companies like TCS, Wipro etc. If this is not brain drain then what is?

In the mean time India is facing acute shortage of talents in the fields of science, engineering and technology. On the other hand the US and UK engineers work on their own technical field and they shift the dirty but talent-needed IT work to countries like India.

India faces shortage of people for high-end industrial work that is based on research and development, Kiran Karnik, president of National Association of Software and Service Companies said on Monday. "We have around 5,000 PhDs in the country (passing out annually). We all know that India has a competitive edge and companies cannot find the numbers we have in other places, but that is dwindling in high-end areas," Karnik told reporters here on the sidelines of the Nasscom Quality summit. He said about 300,000 engineering students graduate annually, "but a fewer number of people pursue masters or doctorates, and only about 5,000 students are in PhDs." Only about seven to eight people of every 100 were employable in the business process outsourcing industry and "the industry has the luxury of hiring the best seven or eight, but when the industry needs to expand in the long run, they would find it difficult," he said. In an effort to address these concerns, he said, Nasscom had begun talks at the University level in improving the syllabus and quality of faculty, by adopting the models of Indian Institute of Information Technology at Hyderabad and Bangalore. Karnik also said the industry was in discussions with the central and state governments on improving infrastructure, but the pace of work was very slow. "When we work 24/7 or private guys work round the clock to complete a project, why shouldn’t the infrastructure projects happen? The economy needs good roads," he said.

Answer 2

"A brain drain or human capital flight is an emigration of trained and talented individuals ("human capital") for other nations or jurisdictions, due to conflict, lack of opportunity and/or health hazards where they are living."
