Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao urges PM Modi to help Ukraine-returned Indian students | Hyderabad News
HYDERABAD: Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Tuesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to help Ukraine-returned medical students to complete their education by providing them admission in the medical colleges here in equivalent semesters by relaxing regulations in vogue, as a special case.
“For this purpose, permission may also be accorded to proportionately increase the seats in different semesters in the medical colleges as a one-time basis to accommodate these Ukraine students,” Chandrasekhar Rao said in a letter to Modi on Tuesday.
A couple of weeks ago, on the floor of the assembly KCR announced that the state government was ready to bear the fees of the medical students who returned from Ukraine if the Centre agrees. The CM said the state government had brought about 740 students from Delhi.
In his letter, the CM said over 700 students are from Telangana, who returned from Ukraine without completing their medical education. In view of the hardships faced by them, the Telangana government has decided to bear the college fee of the medical students.
He said students who came back have devoted their considerable time and spent large sums of money in pursuing their medical education in Ukraine, which is now likely to remain incomplete.
“As per the reports, there are over 20,000 Indian students who returned to India from the war-torn Ukraine. Most of them are from middle class families, who will lose their life time savings without any hope of completing their medical education of their children,” KCR said.
