Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said it was time to make the yatra from brain drain to brain gain, adding that India and its people needed to figure out a strategy for the same.
"Earlier, there was a phrase called 'brain drain', now is time to make the yatra from 'brain drain' to 'brain gain'. We need to figure out our strategy for brain gain," Prime Minister Modi said here at a Global Exhibition on Services event organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry.
