Brain drain or human capital flight is defined in Oxford dictionary as “the movement of highly skilled and qualified people to a country where they can work in better conditions and earn more money.” Since the early 1990s, a small number of India’s valuable human resources has been leaving the country in search of “greener pastures” in the region and the world over. During the last four years, this brain drain trend has escalated in magnitude to levels that have serious implications for the country’s capacity to deliver on the sustainable development front.
From my research, I would like to find the reasons why people are leaving India.
To effectively reduce the magnitude of the brain drain requires an in-depth understanding of the problem.
So the main problem to be researched at is:
REASONS FOR BRAIN DRAIN IN INDIA.
Research objectives
Broadly, the purpose of the study is: • To establish the trend, rate and level of the brain drain in India • To investigate the nature and dynamics of both the push and pull factors at play in India and recipient countries • To find major reasons behind brain drain India
Research design
As the research is done by interviewing the sample from the population which means I have to explore the reasons so this would be an EXPLORATORY research design. This would involve postcard questionnaire as well as mail questionnaire.
Source of Data
The source of data would be both primary as well as secondary.
Primary data:
Primary data would be collected through questionnaires (both postcard as well as mail). This would also include interviewing those who do not respond to those questionnaires. Moreover those who would not respond to mail questionnaire would be interviewed on telephone.
Secondary data:
Secondary data would be collected through data published in magazines, collecting data from internet (review of literature), etc.
