Bigger India
How to Stop The Brain Drain
A poor country like India can’t afford educating its students in key sectors and ultimately losing them to other rich countries.
Ever since 1960s, immigration of medical doctors to America and other western countries continues unabated. It is noteworthy that India supplies the largest number of medical graduates to the U.S. With 59,523 physicians of Indian origin working in the English speaking Western world (the U.S., UK, Australia and Canada combined), India is by far the single largest source of emigre physicians in the world. There are more than 40,838 doctors of Indian origin in America today. The actual number could be higher. It is very nice that Indian doctors are highly rated and respected in America and the western world. We all are proud of this fact.
