PM urges NRI to reverse brain drain to brain gain

Prime Minister has thanked the Indian-American community for their contribution in building bridges between India and the United States and invited Indians worldwide to return home. Dr Manmohan Singh said, he prefers the term brain gain to reverse brain drain. He also highlighted the Five Es – economy, energy, environment, education and empowerment – that forms a critical part of the next phase of the relationship between the two countries.Interacting with prominent members of the Indian-American community in Washington, he said, in the past few years we have already experienced what has been called a 'reverse brain-drain, which he described as a meeting of minds. The Prime Minister further noted that Indian-Americans no longer had to make a choice about whether to work in India or America as modern technology and flexible policies back home have opened possibilities of working in both places.He also extended an invitation to all Indian Americans and non-resident Indians to return to India in one capacity or another.
