Find a way out for Indian medicos from Ukraine to continue medicine in India : Stalin urges PM

Chennai, mar 31 : Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to find a way out to enable the affected students to continue their studies in medical colleges in India from the stage from which their studies in Ukraine have been disrupted due to Russian military attacks. The Chief Minister also offered Tamil Nadu government’s unstinted support to all the efforts taken by the on Government in this regard. In a memorandum to the Prime Minister, Stalin, while acknowledging the efforts taken by the Indian Government in bringing back thousands of students caught in the conflict raging between Ukraine and Russia, drew his attention to the emerging vital need to address the uncertain future being faced by thousands of these students for continuing their studies. Since the beginning of the conflict, about 2,000 medical students have returned to Tamil Nadu. The current situation has already resulted in the disruption of their studies and also threatens their future career. Further, given the current unprecedented situation in Ukraine, it may not be practically possible for these medical students to return to their colleges in Ukraine, to continue their studies. The uncertainty is likely to prevail even after the cessation of hostilities and till the restoration of normalcy in their versities. “I would therefore request your urgent intervention and direct the National Medical Commission and the relevant Ministries, to immediately find a way out to enable the affected students to continue their studies in medical colleges in India from the stage from which their studies in Ukraine have been disrupted. He also assured the Prime Minister that the Tamil Nadu Government will offer unstinted support to all the efforts taken by the on Government in this regard. GV 1441
