Odisha CM seeks PM’s intervention for Ukraine-returnee Indian Medical students’ continuance of study in country

Bhubaneswar: Taking a serious note of the difficulties of the Indian medical students whose studies were disrupted due to war in Ukraine, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention to ensure the continuance of their studies in medical colleges in the country.

In his letter to the PM, Naveen said, “In view of the situation in Ukraine, a large number of medical students from Odisha and other parts of India had to return back home. The disruption in their studies is likely to continue until the cessation of the hostilities and restoration of normalcy in their universities in Ukraine.”

“I would, therefore request for your urgent intervention with the National Medical Commission and the ministries concerned to enable and facilitate continuance of their studies in the medical colleges in India from the stage from which their studies in Ukraine have been disrupted on account of the war,” he added.

The Odisha CM also assured the PM of the full support of the Government of Odisha for implementing a workable solution for this purpose.
