These have had the effect of reducing the universities’ share of funds and talented new faculty, who flock to the better working conditions at the institutes.<BR/><BR/>http://www.hindu.com/2007/12/04/stories/2007120454271100.htm<BR/><BR/>Also see <BR/><BR/>http://www.hindu.com/2008/01/09/stories/2008010952761000.htm<BR/><BR/>"India has nearly nine million science graduates, two million post-graduates, and 100,000 people with Ph.D. qualifications.
