Basavadatta Mitra from Humanities and Management Group, who is also our instructor for this course.
The Report was prepared after a comprehensive online survey. The survey was based on questionnaire consisted questions suitably covering all the aspects exploited in the report. The data was collected from the students present in the campus. While evaluating the data, the views of students of all batches were given equal importance and relevance. It was posted on DC1 and was also posted on the Google Groups of respective hostels, Clubs, Associations and Departments. The opinions of the members of BITS Alumni Affairs Division have also been included.
On basis of the data obtained from internet and responses of BITS-Goa campus students, major reasons of Brain Drain and the extent of their impact were analyzed. Also possible solutions were identified to narrow down the percentage of engineering graduates who fleet to foreign countries in search of job and research facilities.
This report has been classified broadly into three parts. It begins with the reasons why engineering graduates consider working in a foreign country a better option than working in India. Thereby, it considers the positive and negative impacts of this attitude on India. To conclude the report considers the measures to be taken by the government and institutions to minimize the negative
Internal validity of this study included data collection process and student personal interest in education. For example, students may have scored in exam because they concern about their own education. Reliability of this study instrument has not been tested. This is the first time this group will have this survey. There is no former survey to use as a standard to see if there are many changes.
Data collected from research already conducted will be analyzed for limitations and to conduct a comparative analysis of the results. The survey completed by classmates will be used to collect

, we interviewed 165 students. 79% of the students were in ninth grade as Freshman, 8% were in tenth grade, 10% were in eleventh grade, and 4% were in twelfth grade as seniors. The participants were made up of 58% male
Immigration in its simplest term can be conveniently referred to as the international movement of people into a destination country of which they do not have citizenship in order to settle of reside there especially as permanent residents or naturalized citizens to take up employment as a migrant worker or temporarily as students. No nation on earth can boast of singlehandedly archiving all that it has without the help of immigrants. The case f America isn’t different. “The idea that immigrants have the capacity to make the country more innovative and more prosperous is especially appealing at a time of deep insecurity about America’s economic future and its place in a global changing economy” Demetrios G. Madeleine S. (2011) The role of immigration in fostering competitiveness in the united states. p2
This term is typically used in a negative connotation, however, I believe that it is actually a positive thing. In a society as in any living organism, there has to be a cycle of life and death. A “Brain-Drain” acts as the virus that leads to the collapse of a failing country. If the citizens of a nation wish to leave it, then they should not only have the right to, they should be helped in doing so. A country has no special claim to those who grow up in it, a country must earn that right. Afghanistan and Iraq had their chance, and now we need to give these people their
There are many people moving from their native countries to foreign countries. It has many reasons such as educational and economical, religious and political problems. Reason of labor migration lack of work opportunities, and receive sufficient income at home. As we know, the number of people who migrate from their native countries is getting higher and keep increasing. According to statistics, Number of labor immigrants was increase to 145855 all over the world between April and June 2013(Immigration Statistics, April to June 2013).This essay seeks to evaluate the positive and negative impacts of labor migration. This research will begin by evaluating the economic effects of job migration it will then proceed to investigate the social effects. In the process it will be highlighted that the impacts of migration are balanced.
“ETHIOPIA IS BLEEDING.” Well-educated, trained, and experienced sons and daughters of the motherland are flooding from the ups, downs, hills, and mountains to the rest of the world. There is no much more affected nation by the brain drain than Ethiopia in the continent – Africa. In Ethiopia the brain drain issue is becoming controversial. It can be mouth fully said that regarding this human capital flight, no national consensus is reached at all. The government and the intellectual public look at the case from different points of view. Of course, both the good and the bad perspectives have merits, and demerits. On the one hand, the nation can neither control the outflow of skill nor ignore its consequences on the larger community, because of
An October 2006 University of Iowa Civic Analysis Network report chronicles the process. What happens is, brain drain regions often encourage their elite high school students to seek out more prestigious colleges and universities in other parts of the nation—the old get out while the gettin’ is good routine. Sure some students stay, but many don’t. After college, the elite students from local institutions as well as those who’ve already left seek employment in the economically vibrant locations, leaving their homes talent-drained. While it’s perfectly natural for kids to move away, the problem for brain drained regions is that few talented people ever
It is almost impossible, today, to look around you and not see the products of engineering, pretty much regardless of where one may be. In this way, advancements in engineering and its various branches have clearly allowed humanity to develop in immeasurable ways or this would not be the case (Frank C. Whitmore, 1979). However, those who do not have much knowledge of the background processes behind this infrastructure may not realise its impact as deeply or may not realise the impact of engineering at all - despite modern society’s fundamental dependence upon it (National Academy of Engineering, 2001).
For years, brain drain issues have been hot potatoes throughout the world. “Brain drain” is also academically known as the "human capital flight," refers to the large scale migration of highly educated, skilled and talented people of developing countries to highly developed countries of the world (Wikipedia, 2016). The brain drain originated in 1960, when most of human resources like scientists, engineers, and technologists emigrated from United Kingdom to America (Wikipedia, 2016). This phenomenon has become a global issue, and it is happening all over the world in particular for developing countries. China, which is the largest population country with a remarkable economic growth, is also suffering from severe brain drain issues.
The next factor is to seek answers as to the current state of work accomplished by engineers in the gap analysis to identify strengths and weaknesses in frequency and skill levels. An “IS” assessment focuses does not focus on the star employees or the managers, but on the group of engineers. Barriers and signs of inefficiency indicate gap areas of needed improvement. Again, questionnaires may gain insight as to how the engineers do their jobs and comparisons can be made to the star employees and managers. It is advisable to interview the managers of the average engineering groups in addition to questionnaires to yield more valuable data. Two sources of data is adequate and within reason in regard to time and budget constraints. Questionnaires are a good start because of the direct information sought and interviews allow for follow-up questions and more detailed data. It is important that employees are provided confidentiality agreements and given the option on whether or not to participate. A Likert scale allows for easy computations of the questionnaires, because the low numbers indicate failures and the high numbers mean successes.
In this essay the engineering will be discussed with its advantages relating to wellbeing and good health.
‘Brain drain’ is commonly defined as the flow of health professionals, which are looking forward to improving the quality of life, standard of living and finding better working conditions (Dodani & LaPorte). This tendency has started in the 1950s and 1960s, when the United Kingdom noticed a significant outflow of health-related professionals to other westernized countries (Wright et al. 2008). The migrant group involves doctors, nurses, pharmacists, community health workers and dentists (Mackey & Liang, 2012). According to Serour (2009), the highest rates of outflow were noticed in developing Islands from Pacific and countries located in the Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and in the Middle East and North Africa. The principal recipient countries are USA, UK, Canada and Australia, where approximately 20% of the doctors come
Scholars argued repeatedly about the effects of brain drain, brain gain, and brain circulation upon various countries involved in their studies. Some would question the authenticity of this circulation of talent (Harvey 2012; Saxenian, 2006). Harvey (2012) referenced Kapur and McHale (2005), who worried that the highest ranking scholars from Indian universities emigrated from India to the United States in higher numbers than those scholars who graduated with lesser degrees from lesser universities. In other words, they argued that the very top professionals tended to be the ones to leave. Others would say that this was not negative because innovation tended to flow to and from the host country and increased the resources and knowledge in the home country (Harvey, 2012).
