2. Now-a-days call cantre salary is even more than engineers serving in the core sector companies like Reliance Energy etc. Even an MBBS doctor does not earn more than 20 K per month on employment in Govt. Job whereas person of his age earns more than 25k being in Call centre Industry.

4.Rupee need to be placed very competitive to USD . This will help us for reverse brain drain thus effective and innovative people need to stay in India .
