India Courts Homegrown Faculty and Researchers
India is planning a new scheme to attract Indian-origin academics and researchers from abroad.
The scheme, backed by the Ministry of Education, Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Department of Biotechnology (DBT), aims to bring back Indian-origin researchers and scientists to India for a defined period to pursue research and teaching.
Returning scholars will be offered positions in top DST and DBT research bodies, with financial autonomy, operational flexibility, and a substantial setup grant to establish labs and research teams in India.
According to The Indian Express, the scheme will first identify 12-14 priority STEM areas, especially those deemed strategically important for national capacity building, before inviting relevant talent.
The scheme aims to bring back Indian-origin researchers and scientists with major academic credentials to India.
