Question
‘First gold-drain and now brain-drain’. Explain the statement.
✓
Answer
India has not rightly planned for managing its human resource.
India failed to plan the type of labour and their quantity which it will need and the type of education and training that should be provided to match the need.
As a result, due to lack of employment opportunities many of our doctors and engineers with high degree migrate to foreign countries because they are unable to get suitable work in India.
The way there existed one-way movement of gold i.e. ‘drain of gold’ from India to England during the British rule, today we can witness one-way movement of knowledge i.e. ‘brain-drain’ from India to foreign countries.
