Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention to facilitate continuation of courses of students who have returned to India from Ukraine.
In a letter to the PM on Sunday, the Odisha CM stated, “In view of the situation in Ukraine, 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 cessation of the hostilities and restoration of normalcy in their universities in Ukraine.”
“This is an unprecedented crisis that has the potential of disrupting the careers of several thousands of young men and women who have already gone through the trauma of being in the war zone.”
The Odisha CM has requested for the PM’s 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.
Naveen assured full support of Government of Odisha for implementing a workable solution for this purpose.
