	Dear Friends, Please find a message below from Kalpana which is in connection with week 3 questions of discussion. Sorry all! Just could not manage to send in answers...as i got really caught up in work.. Well do assure that i will be active this week... I do have a few comments on Emmanuel's answer to question 1. He rightly said that development includes connection/exchange of human resources, financial commitment, intellectual contributions that flows from the host country to the home countries. However i feel that capacity building can be if significance to both countries. Though each countries has its own rules and regulations there also lies the aspect of commoness, or rather something that binds the countries together. Mutually beneficial labour is possible. In India today several people actually return to India after being trained overseas. This is due to several reasons: One, big companies investing in India has opened up newer venues with jobs that offer huge paychecks. So you get to stay in your homeland and live comfortably as well. Second, with the IT sector boom, communication has become very easy. You could work for a company that has its home base overseas but can stay in your home country and do it. With the IITs and IIMs playing a major role in both providing quality education in order to realise world class engineers and managers, the government can work towards capacity building and ensuring that these professionals stay in their home countries. That could turn out to be mutually beneficial. Im not generalising things but if the developing country is able to realise opportunities/needs of the host country that need to be met, there can be mututal exchange and sharing of skills. Kalpana.
