“The Tamil Nadu government will initiate steps to send back students pursuing medicine in Ukraine to continue their education. I will highlight the issue when I meet the Union Health Minister soon,” said Minister for Health Ma. Subramanian in Madurai on Friday.
He said, suggestions were made to accommodate students – who were evacuated to India owing to war between Russia and Ukraine – in colleges where similar curriculum is followed in other countries .
The evacuated students from many private colleges and universities in Ukraine have been taking up their courses online since March. Following the announcements made by those medical institutions of resuming offline classes in September, the students have made representations to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.
