As a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict that erupted about three months ago, many Indian students who were pursuing their education in the war-torn country were forced to escape, disrupting their studies significantly. Meanwhile, Union Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar said in Vadodara on Monday that the Union government is “concerned” about the education of Indian medical students who fled war-torn Ukraine after the Russian invasion.
“We are in talks with other countries in the region to come up with a solution that will allow Indian students to continue their medical studies at Ukrainian universities… We’ve spoken with Hungary, and they’re eager to work with us to accommodate as many Indian students as possible whose studies have been disrupted by the Ukraine conflict. “We are taking this matter seriously and doing everything we can to help our youngsters,” Jaishankar added.
The minister, who is on a two-day visit, arrived in Vadodara and distributed financial assistance worth Rs 1.7 crore to 17 children who were orphaned during the Covid-19 pandemic under the PM CARES for Children Scheme.
