Mumbai, August 08: With ‘brain drain’ being a cause of concern for the country, former President A P J Abdul Kalam today said he believed that there was hardly any such phenomenon as the migration of the professionals was too low.
“I don’t believe in brain drain. India produces three million graduates every year. If 10 per cent of them leave the country, it is not brain drain,” Kalam said while interacting with students at St Xavier’s College here.
He asked the students to work for the country’s progress through their participation in developmetal politics.
Kalam said the people of India had started realising the need of developmental politics and results of the recent Lok Sabha elections had indicated that the electorate voted on the basis of performance.
