Mr. M.K. Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, wrote to Mr. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, regarding the Ukraine returnees student.
The letter addressed to PM Narendra Modi and the Central Government, came days after the Union Government informed the Lok Sabha that the National Medical Commission has not granted permission to transfer or accommodate foreign medical students in Indian medical institutions. In regard to this, Mr. M.K. Stalin urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to help those students who could not return to Ukraine and continue their studies, due to the unfavorable Russia-Ukraine invasion crisis.
In the letter, dated the 24th of July, Sunday, Mr. M.K. Stalin said, “Given the current situation in Ukraine, it may not be practically possible for these medical students to immediately return to their colleges in Ukraine and the uncertainty is likely to prevail even after the cessation of hostilities. Considering this, our State has been repeatedly urging you to take necessary steps to accommodate these students in India or in suitable Universities abroad.”
He further added, “There is a sense of disappointment amongst students that similar concrete steps have not been taken by the Union Government towards the continuance of their studies.” Furthermore, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister requested PM Narendra Modi to direct the National Medical Commission and the Union Ministries concerned to suitably amend Central Acts to enable the students to continue their studies in India.
In concluding the letter, Mr. M.K. Stalin said, “Considering the delay which has already happened, I request your urgent intervention in this regard.”
A copy of the letter was also circulated on social media platforms and to the media.
Meanwhile, approximately 2,000 students returned to Tamil Nadu, after the Russia-Ukraine invasion war broke out, in February.
