Ukraine crisis: Indian students stuck between a rock and a hard place
The HinduAn estimated 18,000 Indians were in Ukraine when Russia’s invasion began. Though Poland has shown openness to accommodate Indian students there, she said she knows little about universities there. Mohammed Abid Ali, also a first year medical student who returned home to Davangere from Ukraine, said students like him have not planned anything. This should be considered a special case and rules need to be changed to serve justice.” She also appealed to the Government to use this opportunity to bring in changes so Indian students need not look at other countries in the future. Indian students can avoid going to foreign countries for medical education if the availability of government and private college seats is improved while medical education is made more affordable.
