NEW DELHI: In a bid to reverse “brain- drain”, the Government today launched a scheme under which non-resident Indian scientists will be able to work in the country’s institutions for a period of one to three months.
The Visiting Advanced Joint Research (Vajra) faculty scheme is a dedicated programme for foreign scientists and academicians, with emphasis on non-resident Indians, persons of Indian origin and overseas citizens of India to work as adjunct faculty in the Government-funded academic and research institutions.
Union Science and Technology Minister Harsh Vardhan said the scientists under the VAJRA programme would draw a salary of USD 15,000 in the first month and USD 10,000 each in the remaining months. (AGENCIES)
