The Indian medical students who were evacuated from Ukraine under “Operation Ganga” in the middle of the Russian invasion of Ukraine staged a protest in New Delhi with their parents. The protesters urged the central government to make arrangements to help them complete their studies in state universities. Many parents urged the Centre to take further decisions on the academic future of their children during the protests.
The National Medical Commission (NMC) issued a notification on March 4th 2022, stating that all the foreign medical graduates whose internships were pending due to compelling situations, like war, are eligible to complete the remaining part of their internship in India. There was no mention of any other students except for all the students awaiting internships.
As many as 500 Ukraine MBBS students and their parents from 18 states across the country made a joint appeal to accommodate these students in government colleges so that their dreams of being a doctor are not broken. In March the Central government told the Supreme Court that it was looking into the request to allow the students who had returned from Ukraine to continue their education in India.
Many experts stated that since there were about 18,000 Indian students studying medicine in Ukraine, it is not possible to provide immediate admission (in Indian colleges) to all these students. But the government can take necessary actions to accommodate these students in different medical colleges across the country.
