About this series
Sending a child abroad to study is one of the largest decisions, and largest cheques, of an Indian family's life. This series walks the whole journey, with current data and clear eyes.
From the 2026 map of where to go to the question of whether to come home, each part takes one stage of the crossing and reports it straight.
