Ukraine crisis

The Union government has been “concerned” about the education of Indian medical students who fled the war-torn Ukraine following the Russian invasion, Union Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar said in Vadodara Monday.

“We are talking to other nations around Ukraine in order to work out a solution so that Indian students can continue their medical courses in the universities there… We have spoken to Hungary and they are willing to make arrangements to admit as many Indian students whose academics have been interrupted due to the Ukraine conflict. We are taking this issue seriously to help our children as much as we can,” Jaishankar said.

Indian students in Chinese universities

Indian medical students studying in Chinese universities, who have been stranded in India since January 2020, recently held a protest at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, demanding immediate action to allow them to obtain practical training, either in China or in Indian medical schools.

Students who are in their final year of MBBS or those who are set to begin their final year in July 2022 are among the most concerned – a mandatory one-year internship, after the final year, is part of the MBBS course, and a degree without the practical training, they fear, will be futile.
