India beginning to witness reverse brain drain: Minister

India is beginning to witness a reverse brain drain as great Indian minds from all over the world are getting keen to tread the growth path of a resilient economy that has withstood the global meltdown, according to Mr Salman Khurshid, Minister of State for Corporate and Minority Affairs.

Mr Khurshid, on his four-day official visit to Dubai, asserted that reverse brain drain has already begun and this was a great sign of the world's confidence in India and its recognition of India's potential. "Those who know that you cannot permanently leave India have sensibly kept your links with the country by educating your children in systems that are compatible to those of India so that they can go back to India either for higher studies or for work," he added.

"Many second-generation Indians are coming back to the country. Top multinationals are sending their top Indian minds to head their companies in India. So when we lose some, we win many back," he remarked.
