Indians are running poor on the IT sector. Every day a new problem is coming up. The Trump Administration has already kept the alarm ring in the H-1B visa case. In the meantime, things might change in our favor, but the scope of this misunderstanding has ended day by day. In its new regime, the US has made it clear that strict measures will be taken to deal with the H-1B visa fraud and its misuse. No normal computer programmer will now be considered as a specialized professional, which is a mandatory condition in the case of H-1B visas. This decision is in sharp contrast to the one-half-decade-old US direction which was released to meet the needs of the new millennium.
The effect of the latest decision can apply to thousands of Indians applying for this visa. The second bad news came from Singapore, which has barred the granting of visas to the professionals working in the IT sector. The government is pressurizing the Indian IT companies to keep the local people in their place. There are branches of major Indian companies like HCL, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, L&T and Infotech in Singapore, most of which are Indian only. Some believe that this move of Singapore is a part of the strategy to put pressure on India as India recently spoke of reviewing the Economic Cooperation Agreement.
It seems that there has been a storm of protectionism in the world which has ruined the values of globalization. Every state is engaged in satisfying its population, regardless of how much damage it is waiting for in its response. Before the crisis increased, India should become conscious before that. In the field of software, India should move out of the situation of Cyber Coolie Supplier and proceed as Leader. The safest way to do it is to turn our IT education structure to expertise. We made a lot of programmers so now we have to create a lot of creative professionals and experts. Instead of working on the model given to others, we make our model popular in the world. Why can not India become the world's leading software maker? The problem is that it is only accepting the responsibilities of building an engineer according to the market driven by our organization leaks. We have to prepare a more focused, constructive and future oriented program in our IT educational institutes. This will only happen if the policy makers of these institutes plan for the future, keeping in mind the atmosphere created against Indian IT professionals.
