TBH IITs and IIMs doing a better service to USA and the west. If you see the profile of most of the scientist and engineers working in DRDO, ISRO, HAL and other national entities, they're from regional universities and colleges.
Bitter but that's the truth.
I don't agree. Many IIT students go to US for studies and get into best universities because of IIT brand name. Do you know, IIT prefer PhDs from US and European universities for faculty position. All those people after earning in US and UK return in later years and transfer the knowledge to not only IITs but also other universities and NITs,.
Director of my college IIT Kanpur graduate, did his PhD in University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign, worked in Yahoo, on IP6 protocol too, returned back to India and also became involved in IIT K Computer Department. He is just one case.
My college had all the PhDs from IITs and from US unviersities with tons of experience as our Professors.
They brought work culture, work ethics, made collaborations etc. Our Physics faculty is working with University of Nebraska where students are enrolled in India as PhD but he sends the data to Nebraska as they have advanced computing equipments.
I can explain in detail what actualy IITs and IIMs brought. They brought hard work and focus on work efficiency, out of the box thinking, innovativeness and optimization etc.
I also like to mention ISI,
(Indian Statistical Institutes), TIFR, IIS Bangalore too.
Jawahar Lal Nehru may have done blunders but put India on path of Education and laid the foundation of Science and Technology and education.
Mostly B.Tech students go abroad, many returns but M.Tech and PhD from IITs stay in India and often works as Researcher in companies like Infosys, TCS as R&D head or main researcher.
How about making this country free from the menace of Polio once and for all? @

Well, in health care, India has become a favorite case study for many disease control like AIDS epidemic etc. The awareness programs, the media utilization etc. helped in creating a good strategy to implement in countries of Africa which has similar poverty, lack of hygiene, education and crime. We have to take into account of 1.2 billion people.
Look at Africa with 1.3 billion, an entire continent, while India with 1.2 billion. We have achieved a lot but job is not done.
