At least 20,000 Indian students were forced to flee Ukraine as Russia launched an invasion aimed at 'demilitarisation' and 'denazification' of Ukraine.
‘’As per reports, there are over 20,000 Indian students who have been dislocated from Ukraine due to the war. Most of them are from middle-class families which will lose their life savings without any hope of completing the medical education of their children," KCR said.
He said that everything possible should be done to safeguard their future and requested the PM, as a special case, to help them complete their education.
KCR said, "For this purpose, permission may also be accorded to proportionately increase the seats in different semesters in the medical colleges on a one-time basis to accommodate these students.’’
