Abstract: This paper looks at how brain drain affects India when skilled workers leave the country. It highlights the large loss of talent and how it slows down India’s growth. The report explores reasons why doctors, nurses, teachers, and researchers choose to work abroad. These include higher salaries, better career chances, new research facilities, and improved living conditions. It also discusses how losing these professionals hurts India’s healthcare system. Shortages of medical staff become common, especially in rural areas. Remaining workers have to handle more patients, which can lower the quality of care. In education, the absence of experienced teachers and researchers lowers teaching standards and slows down new ideas. India’s position in global education rankings drops as a result. While remittances and diaspora communities can offer some support, the main focus is on fixing the problems caused+ by brain drain. The paper calls for urgent steps to keep talented people in India. This means creating more local jobs and a positive environment for professional growth. It ends with suggestions for policies and long-term plans to lessen the impact of brain drain. The goal is to turn this challenge into an opportunity, helping India build a stronger future.
