Perhaps the most important cause for the brain drain phenomenon is an educational trend which does not serve the needs of the country. The others are unrecognized or unrewarded talents and lack of job opportunities for trained professionals. For example, the emoluments drawn by a research worker are far less than those of a factory hand. This is the begin of the brain drain of the young. Lure of higher salaries in hard currency, good residing and favourable conditions of settling down with the family also prompt highly qualified Indians to look to the west for jobs. The migration of Indian man power to the U.S. In the 1950’s and the 1st half of the 1960’s was limited by the U.S. Immigration Act of 1952 which set the annual quota at 100 for Indian nationals. The total number of Indian engineers, Scientists and Physicians admitted during 1964-65 numbered more than 1000. However, the scene changed drastically in 1965 when the U.S. immigration laws eliminated preferential treatment accorded to West Europeans and gave priority to immigrants with skills in short supply. As a result, ranging from 1966-1970, thousands of Indian professionals made their way to the U.S.

What is disconcerting is that after India has proved to be the fount of more than 1 4th of the skilled immigrants to the U.S., the major part of this drain drain is being borne by the medical faculties. According to the World Health Organiazation, India is the largest donor of medical manpower in the world.

Our country thereby loses not only these professionals but also the resources invested in their training. For instance the government spends Rs. two Lakhs on very IIT graduate and it is seen that 1 out of every 3 of these settles in the U.S. after going there for, higher studies.

The specific objectives of the anti-brain drain policies, with the frame work of independent development are to bring back to a limited extent, the lost talents and skills from abroad and decrease the outflow in the short run and finally end it other than that necessitated by genuine, multi-lateral international dependence.
