New Delhi:

More than 1,000 Indian medical college students, who had been evacuated from war-torn Ukraine final yr, have resumed their research at a outstanding medical college in Uzbekistan. They have been accommodated by Uzbekistan’s Samarkand State Medical University. The Indian Embassy in Ukraine facilitated the transition after reaching out to the college to discover the opportunity of the switch of scholars affected by Russia’s invasion of its neighbour.

Amit, from Bihar’s Begusarai, needed to spend an evening in a Ukrainian basement through the Russian assault. He was among the many college students evacuated by the Indian authorities beneath ‘Operation Ganga’ initiative. This operation aimed to carry again Indians stranded in Ukraine, efficiently evacuating a complete of 18,282 people.

“I thought I wouldn’t make it, and I was afraid of either perishing or being stranded in Ukraine. Once back home in India, my family and I felt relief, but a new cycle of uncertainty began about what would come next. Having completed three years of my MBBS in Ukraine, starting anew or pursuing a different path was not an option I wanted to consider. Eventually, I decided to move to Uzbekistan,” Amit informed information company PTI.

When the Russian invasion began in February 2022, about 19,000 Indian college students had been finding out in Ukraine. Since then, an estimated 2,000 of those college students have returned to Ukraine.
