Abstract

In today’s globalized world, manpower development through higher education has become a crucial and necessary activity for almost all countries. Skilled and professional manpower is therefore becoming a very valuable asset that countries are struggling to acquire. There was a time when manual labor and “muscle” power was in great demand for trade; today, with the advent of technology, the empha- sis has shifted to “brain” power, which is now in short supply. India continues to generate educated manpower which it is not always able to absorb. This has resulted in professionals leaving the country for better career opportunities abroad. This was the origin of what became known as the issue of “brain drain,” which hindered national development.
