The main reason people move abroad is to earn good money, get access to top-notch resources for study or research. We’ve seen a lot of them come back once the goal is accomplished, but that’s not the only reason, In this article, we’ll look at a few more reasons to understand why NRI’s are returning to India. 

Reverse Brain Drain

The phrase “brain drain” is used to characterize the flow of highly trained persons from developing to developed countries. Now, despite having fewer prospects and a lower income band, reverse brain drain is returning to the home country. Let’s have a look at some of the reasons why NRIs feel compelled to return home permanently.

Community 

India gives off a very wonderful, fulfilling, and inclusive community vibe. With the celebrations of various festivals together to attending your far relative’s wedding, India is a country with a diverse culture and population. 

Their children should growDespite being different in culture, language, and religion, they are still able to be united by one nation. Therefore, the people of India are very warm and welcoming. There is something for everyone in India.

Kids and Family

A lot of NRI parents think it’s best for their children to grow up in India, because of the significant ‘attitude’ change that kicks in as the kid turns 13. 

As more birthdays pass by they end up moving farther away from their parents. The generation gap, the disconnect, and the difference between the atmospheres they have seen as a kid vs the atmosphere their kids live in are far apart. 

This brings in place misunderstandings and arguments. To avoid all this and to let their child be a part of Indian culture, understand and practice it, NRI’s are moving back. 

Support their parents

A large percentage of NRIs wish to return to India to be with their families. They desire to be with their parents. For certain errands, NRI parents must rely on neighbors, other relatives, and friends. As a result, some of them return to provide physical assistance and care.

Others want their children to spend quality time with their grandparents, which is tough to achieve when visiting India only for the holidays.

Patriotism 

There are about 30% of NRI’s who return back to India because they want to give back to their country. A lot of students get support from the Indian government to pursue their overseas education, this makes them feel like they owe something to their country and decide to return to home. 

There are a lot more reasons that might be a contributing factor to the decision like, 

• Face discrimination at all points.
• The country gives more preference to its own citizen. 
• Feeling lonely, etc. 

Conclusion: 

Moving back is a difficult decision to make, especially when you have a family who lives with you securely elsewhere. Make sure this isn’t a decision based on emotions. Determine what is best for you and stick to it.
