SOCIAL_ISSUES_AND_SCHEMES

15 marks

India is witnessing a rapid rise in self-financed student migration. Analyse the changing nature of this trend and examine the socio-economic challenges it poses. Suggest measures to convert student mobility into a source of human capital gain rather than brain waste.

Tips for your answer

  • Show the shift in migration character
  • Clearly bring out how student migration has moved from elite scholarships to debt-financed middle-class mobility.
  • Use data to highlight vulnerability, not just scale
  • Figures on education loans, underemployment and reverse remittances strengthen the argument.
  • Balance aspiration with policy responsibility
  • Acknowledge student agency while emphasising regulation, domestic reform and reintegration.
