PARLIAMENT QUESTION: Immigration of indian researchers

The government is implementing various initiatives to retain and attract Indian STEM researchers, and to encourage the return of scientists from overseas.

Key programs like the Ramanujan Fellowship and DBT-Ramalingaswami Re-entry Fellowship facilitate scientist returns, while the VAJRA Faculty Program focuses on global research collaboration.
