The 2 million rupees ($25,035) they scraped together covered the fees for English language tuition provided by Western Overseas, one of dozens of visa consultancies in Ambala, about 250km from of New Delhi, that promise better lives through study overseas.
"My dream is to settle abroad as I see no future in India," said Sachin, who uses only a single name. He now plans to fly to Canada where he hopes to complete a two-year diploma in business management and eventually secure a longer work visa.
While middle-class Indians have for decades sought better prospects in other countries, worsening economic conditions are now driving families from poorer rural areas like Sachin's to make big investments to set up new lives for their children overseas.
Sachin says his two friends now in Canada earn about C$1,200 ($918) a month through part-time work while studying for diplomas.
With many countries now lifting COVID restrictions, the number of Indian students heading to places like the United States, Canada, Australia, UK, Ireland and New Zealand was almost one million in early 2022, roughly doubling from pre-pandemic levels, according to government and industry estimates.
The numbers need to be far higher. Global warming isn't going to wait. 25 million students leaving per year would be more like it (see below).
In Sydney, Catriona Jackson, chief executive of Universities Australia, said more than 76,000 Indian students were now pursuing education in Australia, which is expected to accelerate after both countries signed a bilateral trade pact this year.
Many are applying for short courses in Canada and Australia driven by increasingly bleak job prospects at home and as Western governments loosen immigration requirements to fill university and job vacancies.

DAZZLING PROSPECTS
Several foreign universities and their local partners are organising education fairs at costly five-star hotels and through virtual sessions in small towns to woo students.
At one such event, over 500 students gathered recently to explore opportunities with over 40 universities from Australia and Canada at a luxury hotel in Chandigarh, about 40 km from Ambala.
Gagandeep Singh, a small businessman from nearby Dera Bassi town, came with his daughter, who has received offers from some Australian universities.
"I have zeroed in on the University of Canberra, from where my sister has done Masters in Pharmacy," said Jashandeep Kaur, Singh's daughter, citing women's safety and career prospects as her main considerations.

"We publish our success stories on Facebook and other platforms," said Bhupesh Sharma, marketing head of Western Overseas, which has expanded to nine major cities in northern India and sent nearly a thousand students overseas.
"We aim to send about 5,000 students abroad this year," said Pradeep Baliyan, its founder, adding they had also opened branches in Australia and Canada offering job placement services.
With over 300 million students in school and growing numbers seeking higher education, India is struggling to provide enough college spots and jobs for its young.
Dividing 300 million by 10 years means ~30 million graduates per year. ~25 million students emigrating per year would be a good start. (Of course non-students should also try to emigrate via other avenues.)
PULL FACTOR
Indeed, many Western nations can't reopen fast enough after two painful years of pandemic travel restrictions starved their economies of foreign labour and universities of full fee-paying international students.

"The ease of securing permanent residency has become a big draw for Indian students rushing to Canada," Rahul Oswal, the founder of consultancy Wisdom Overseas, said.
Compared with the UK and the United States, Canada's post-graduate work and residency programmes are much more flexible, he added.
Yes, but Canada doesn't have nukes, does it? Still, I suppose migrating to Canada first and then migrating again to the US/UK later is a possibility.
Many comments are on board with emgration:
The number was almost one million in early 2022, but in a few years it will reach more than five million annually as more realize the futility of having a decent standard of living in India.
India students go as far to Ukraine and Yemen. They must understand, that there chances of getting a job in India is 0.
The attraction of foreign university education is not just the opportunity to settle down abroad but also the opportunity to sponsor the entire family to migrate !!!
In many communities in states like Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat.. young men face a lot of pressure to try hard to go abroad - anywhere - because if they don't, no bride will want to marry them !!!
