His research work has been cited by the UK Border Agency as well as the US Homeland Security.[7]
Rajiv Dabhadkar returned to India, after staying more than a decade in the United States of America, and founded The National Organization for Software and Technology Professionals (NOSTOPS) in April 2004.[8][9] He joined hands with Bright Future Jobs as an American lobbying partner to end the xenophobic anti-guest worker sentiments.[10][11]
