IIT Bombay extends accommodation, scholarships to Afghani students amid political crisis in the neighbouring nation

IIT Bombay will announce accommodation and scholarships to 11 Afghan students.

Mumbai: In view of the ongoing Taliban crisis in Afghanistan, IIT Bombay has taken a big initiative. IIT Bombay has announced that 11 students from Afghanistan studying in their institute will not only be given accommodation in the hostel campus but these 11 students will also be given scholarships for their studies. In a special conversation with Zee News, IIT Bombay Director Subhasish Choudhary said that apart from this, considering the current situation, these children have also been given the option that if they are not able to continue their studies this year, then they will be considered to defer their admission.  Subhashish Chaudhary says that amid the situation of the civil war in Afghanistan we don't want the future of these students to be played with. These children should get higher education and when the situation in Afghanistan is better, they should contribute to their nation-building.
