University for NRIs or ABCDs
This I find a very stange endeavor: an Indian university for all those Indians living abroad.
The Indian government estimates there are 20 million people of Indian origin across the world whose combined wealth of $1-trillion is almost 20 percent higher than India’s gross domestic product.
What exactly would be the incentive for a someone not living in India to return to Delhi? And why wouldn’t they be able to go to already existing universities? Perhaps I’m unaware of the financial issues involved, but it seems to be this is a way for India to reclaim some of that “brain drain” that began in earnest during the Cold War and has been slowing to a trickle since the technological revolution in India.
