Exploring best for medicos back from Ukraine: MEA

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: External affairs minister Dr S. Jaishankar said said India is in touch with the Ukraine government and was exploring the best options for medical students who have returned home due to the Ukraine-Russia war. The Parliamentary Committee on External Affairs, in its 15th report presented to the Lok Sabha on August 3, recommended that all students should be accommodated in Indian medical colleges to complete their training and education. Even though some Russian medical colleges are offering admissions to Indian students to help them complete their degrees, the Indian government feels accommodating so many students was not a viable solution. With the situation in the region fragile, the Indian government is not in favour of the students returning to a physical mode of classes.
