Good morning everyone present. I am going to express my

views on ‘Brain drain is not a bane for a developing country like India’. I am

going to speak against the motion. Brain drain is one of the many problems

India is trying to grapple with. Hundreds of skilled professionals are

immigrating to advanced countries in Europe, U.K., Canada, America, Australia,

New-Zealand, and UAE. Let’s see some of the pros and cons of this brain drain

for the country.

Undoubtedly, this huge loss of skilled human resource affects

the national development quite adversely. Thousands of skilled professionals

such as engineers, IT professionals, doctors, scientists, accountants,

managers, teachers, and general workers immigrate to the countries mentioned

above for various reasons. If all those skilled professionals stayed back in

India and contributed to her developmental process, the development would

happen far faster than without them. India is working as a nursery for creating

skilled professionals for the advanced countries of the world at the cost of

her own interests. Sataya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Indra Nooyi, Shantanu

Narayan, etc. are some of the famous Indians who are leading the world renowned

foreign companies. Imagine the chain of ripple effects of national development

their expertise would cause if they stayed and worked in India!

Now let’s ponder over the causes that influence brain drain.

Better life conditions, higher pay packages, better health facilities,

transparency, better working environment, incentives are some of the causes

that motivate the skilled professionals to immigrate to advanced countries

mentioned above. 

On the other hand substandard living conditions, under-utilization

of skilled and semi- skilled personnel; lack of adequate working conditions;

poor management, low and corroding wages, discrimination in recruitments and

promotions, corruption, general backwardness and instability, etc. are some of

the factors that also compel skilled Indians to immigrate to advanced

countries.

The Indian Government should look into these causes and must

strive to create better work culture, facilities, and opportunities to skilled

professionals in the country. The Government must aim at creating world class

life-conditions, pay-packages, transparency, financial and health security,

incentives, etc here in India.

Hi Krishan,

It is a great topic for debate where you can have points both "for " the motion and "against " the motion.

Although majorily points will be available for "for the motion" if you can for against it will be great

hi krishan ,

In the recent past there is growing emphasize on reverse brain drain. But before we discuss about reverse brain drain it is essential to briefly explain what is brain drain. Brain drain is all about losing the Indian talent for global market. It is about Indians leaving for abroad for greener pastures and career prospects. The tendency to go abroad is strong among Indian youth presently. We find many Indian youth leaving for developed countries especially for US, UK, Australia and other advanced countries currently. 

There are several reasons why Indian youth leave for developed countries. They leave India due to lack of opportunities at home. They also leave for leading better and comfortable life there. There is also feeling that there is no recognition at home. In addition, developed countries need Indian talent as Indians are good at technical knowledge and skills. Developed countries also prefer Indian talent due to low cost as it helps them bring their cost of production and enhance their competitiveness. We find innumerable reasons for brain drain. But when we look at Indian perspective, government spends lot of money to educate students and if these students go abroad their education and expertise is not useful to our country. 

Brain drain is both a boon and bane for country. It is not only in India but we find youth from several developing countries settling down in developed countries for leading better life. Since Indian population is high and Indian youth population is higher the number the issue appears to be exaggerated presently. When we look at from other perspective, the Indian youth send lot of foreign exchange to India and that helps our country immensely. In addition, if these youth come back to India after acquiring knowledge, skills and abilities they can add value to India. This process is known as reverse brain drain. The need of the hour is to encourage reverse brain drain so that India can make use of their tremendous potential, experience and expertise for building a stronger nation. This helps India becoming a developed country very soon and also a global Super Power in the long run.
