Indian students in US keen to return home: Survey

[Deletedid1]

NEW DELHI: Only eight percent of Indians in postgraduate education in the United States “strongly prefer” to stay in the country after finishing their studies, a survey said yesterday.

Researchers at Rutgers University, Pennsylvania State University and the Tata Institute of Social Sciences studied the intentions of 1,000 students who are doing or have completed masters, PhDs or post-doctorate qualifications.

A majority, or 53 percent, of them planned to return home from the United States after a few years of work, while a fifth of the 1,000 respondents (21 percent) said they were either in India already or were actively looking to return. Sixteen percent said they would take the best job regardless of location, while “only 8.0 percent strongly prefer to remain in the US,” the study concluded. Another 2.0 percent were classed as “other”.

The findings show that India is luring back an increasing amount of overseas talent to its own colleges, university faculties and companies, reflecting the shift in global economic power from the West to Asia.

Economists are beginning to speculate about a “reverse brain-drain,” the inversion of the long-standing trend that has seen talented individuals from developing countries study and then work in the West.
