  • January 2013
    January1 of 91. 2013 International affairs: US President Barack Obama on 31 January, has come out with his much-awaited comprehensive immigration reforms, that will pave the way for legalization of more than 11 million undocumented immigrants. The reforms, which also propose to eliminate the annual country caps in the employment category, are expected to benefit large number of Indian technocrats and professionals. In a major policy speech on comprehensive immigration in Las Vegas, Obama urged the Congress to act on his proposals. The other key proposals of his "comprehensive" reform plan include "stapling" a green card to the diplomas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), PhD and Masters Degree graduates from qualified US universities who have found employment in the country. The President also proposed to create a startup visa for job-creating entrepreneurs. The proposal allows foreign entrepreneurs, who attract financing or revenue from American investors and customers, to start and grow their businesses in the US, and to remain permanently if their companies grow further, create jobs for American workers, and strengthen the economy. The proposal removes the backlog for employment-sponsored immigration by eliminating annual country caps and adding additional visas to the system. Outdated legal immigration programs are reformed to meet current and future demands by exempting certain categories from annual visa limitations, the White House said. Obama also proposed to eliminate existing backlogs in the family-sponsored immigration system by recapturing unused visas and temporarily increasing annual visa numbers. The proposal also raises existing annual country caps from seven per cent to 15 per cent for the family-sponsored immigration system.

Bengaluru 562 123. Dedicated to the people of India Foreword It is with pride and satisfaction that I write this foreword to the book on the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs). The idea of having a national institution or a uni- versity dedicated to science was not completely new. Some years ago, in the National Committee for Science and Technology chaired by Shri C. Subramaniam, I had brought up the idea of establishing such institutions for science which would be equivalent to the IITs in engineering. For some reason, it could not happen. I kept repeating this in many places, and the idea was even included in a Planning Commission document during 1989–90. It took the right set of people and circumstances eventually to make this happen. When I was the Chairman of the Science Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, I described the idea of IISERs to the Prime Minister. He thought that it was a very good idea and gladly endorsed establishing them. When I talked to the Education Minister, Shri Arjun Singh, he expressed complete support.
