The Narendra Modi government replied to an unstarred question in the Lok Sabha Monday, that there was a decline in the number of Indian students who went abroad in 2018-19
As many as 21 policy reforms are under implementation following Invest Kerala Global Summit, as LDF govt works to change perception that the state is not conducive to businesses.
Company builds microsatellites that are smaller, faster, cheaper to produce. ICEYE will develop & launch micro-satellites, hand them over to India, which will have full control & sovereignty.
What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
Give some on the Left the opportunity to spout off, and they would end up blaming Trump for stubbed toes and flatulence in addition to everything else that they need a scapegoat for. Indian students have historically either come to top US universities, or have made it to regionally accredited and even fake institutions in some cases in what can only be called diploma-shop rackets. The lure of a US visa and previously lax US work-visa laws have left as many Indians driving for Uber and Lyft as there are “techies” writing code at a little above the minimum wage for exploitative corporations here. The bargain that the disadvantaged lot makes is that an American minimum wage plus 20% is still worth more than what might be earned in India, and there’s always a dowry to count on with a “US employed groom” status. Tougher vetting procedures (that actually were initiated halfway through Obama’s second term, before they were implemented under Trump) ended many of the rackets. The flow of students who did well in India and who earned acceptance at good universities has not been affected one bit.
The fact also is that there are other countries with very strong establishments and educational traditions in certain areas that Indians did not even know of earlier – Canada, for example, has strengths in neuromedicine, robot-assisted surgery, and Artificial Intelligence that rival the US, and precede American advances in these fields by a decade or more in some cases. Canada has the world’s safest nuclear powerplants, all of which are locally designed and engineered, it’s Hydel plants are also among the finest engineered in the world – you won’t find a Three Mile Island type disaster in Canada if you look that country’s nuclear powerplant history up, for example. The modem and the smart phone were both invented in Canada, too, before Nortel closed down, and Blackberry became an also ran after becoming unable to compete with rivals. If Google and Microsoft have large development centers under construction in Canada at the moment, it is because of the amount of talent available there, as well as because a shortage of educated professionals makes it easy for them to hire Canadian-educated professionals under Canadian Express Entry and Canadian Experience regulations. Other countries have similar strengths that are only now becoming known in India, and those who want to specialize in these niches where they might get fee discounts at universities and easier post-diploma work opportunities, are likely to look at options other than the US.
The US will always remain the top draw for students interested in studying and working in several fields where American universities are strong. There are strengths this country has that no other country in the world can boast of, and that will always draw some of the smartest students from every country on earth over here. We do not live in a unipolar world, though, and this applies as much to education as it does to everything else.
At this point Canadian Universities such as University of Toronto or McGill University offer better value for money in the long run. The Universities are highly rated, the country is too big with too few people, which makes it an ideal place to reside. Many Indians are now aware of the value offered by German universities. With PSW coming back in the UK from 2020, a large number might invest in a UK degree once again. However, ‘meaningful jobs will be available only to those who can demonstrate exceptional skills acquired from top 10-15 universities. Rest can expect low paying jobs. As far as the US is concerned, the appeal lies in high quality education and the country’s ability to absorb migrants. Though it seems less friendly at present, it could revert to its earlier position as the most lucrative destination, though nOT necessarily in terms of quality of life offered by Canada.
Perhaps less accessible as well. Tourist arrivals to the US have also fallen, due to more stringent visa procedures. It remains to be seen whether the United States is turning its back to the world or some of these aberrations will abate when President Trump leaves, hopefully in November 2020.
Thanks God. Less is better.
Money and talent both required
