Around 3,000 students from Gujarat are stranded in the war-hit Ukraine and they are making desperate appeals to the authorities seeking their evacuation. Families and relatives are running to the authorities seeking the safety of their children.
The government has set up an emergency helpline number at the State-level, and the district administrations have set up helplines, where parents have been asked to submit details of their children, their name, university name, residential address, etc.
While the government has not specified the exact number of those stranded, Education Minister Jitu Vaghani said on Thursday that the Centre, as well as the Indian Embassy in Ukraine, were doing everything possible to ensure the safe return of the students.
