Dearth of industry jobs for PhD scholars in India
I was shocked to know that the job prospects for PhDs from elite Indian institutes are pretty bleak. Most of them either go for a post-doctoral research program in some foreign university or join academia or research labs. People who would want to make a career in the industry have to fight hard to find an appropriate job. One such article highlights that 4 PhDs were placed in industry in the last three years.

When we talk about BRAIN DRAIN, we should take this condition into consideration. Government should do something to create employment opportunities for highly skilled scholars, so that they do not have to flee out of their country.

Hey, I don't understand why it is the government's responsibility to ensure that research scholars have suitable jobs? Undertaking any higher-education is an individual's voluntary choice. If there are no adequate jobs locally, they don't have to be artificially created, do they? There is always an option of being hired abroad. And brain-drain is not necessarily a bad thing. It creates a stronger brand-India. Aren't the same Indian who go abroad also responsible for getting more IT jobs back to India?
