its always nice to hear such news about indian students. ...we have such a wide range of talent in India, but only one sad thing is that many in the research field go out of our country due to lack of scope in research field in India...

It is true when skills are identified & given required training and opportunity to grow, they will, not only, grow but also, develop the nation where they belong to.
Except a few program, such as National Talent Search Examinations , Public Service commission Examination selecting Administrative  Staff, IIT examination, there is no, really, a program that identify the National Talent & better their skill at national level.  India need to offer unlimited & unrestricted program at national level to optimize this issue. HRD can take this issue.
Thanks for referral Ms Bindu Narayan
