It was really very nice of you to address the students who have come back from Ukraine and all Indians appreciate your governments effort, Operation Ganga, to bring rest of the students stranded there back to the country.
The dispatch of four senior ministers to various borders of Ukraine is highly appreciated too.
I note with pleasure that PM Modi has now become aware of the problem of Indian students going abroad to do MBBS course.
And it is heartening to note that he is now going to address the problem.
It was indeed a pleasure to hear your assurances that Government of India is with these students all steps of the way and is committed to airlift the remaining students out of the country.
As the government has communicated through you that it is with the students, you will appreciate that these are 20,000 students who were doing an MBBS course.
They are Indians and would have come back to practice medicine in India, a field where we have huge requirement of trained people.
As these students are at various stages of their course and they might not be able to go back to Ukraine any time soon, I request you to kindly make arrangements for them to continue their course in India at the same academic level and at the same fees that they were to pay in…
…Ukraine.
If you are able to do that then one can really believe that the government is running Operation Ganga.
Otherwise your uttering will be useless and it will look to the public that you and the government is running Operation Nanga.
So please....

A boy from Karnataka, aspiring doctor, 4th year student, gets killed in Ukraine. He was out to get food and water.
And Modi Sarkar is asking, why are students going to small countries to become doctors?
A minister is insinuating that this boy was a failure.
The Godi Media and Modi Bhakts are blaming the boy.
People, did you see the boy's photograph?
Do you feel anything for the parents of this boy? This photograph is of a person who died because Modi Sarkar, being busy with elections, did not bother to evacuate Indian students from Ukraine, where war clouds were gathering.
RACIST TREATMENT OF AFRICANS AND SOUTH ASIANS IN UKRAINE AND POLAND.
African and South Asian students complain about Polish racism on the Ukraine border.
Yesterday Indian TV too reported about the treatment meted out to Indian students escaping the fighting.
Not only this fleeing students have to brave the gauntlet of armed gangs of Ukrainians pulling them out of trains and removing them from stations to make way for Ukrainians fleeing their own country.
Now here is the truth delivered by an authority (not official though but by experience and by being an expert in the field).
"What union minister Prahlad Joshi says that '90% Indians who study MBBS abroad fail to clear qualifiers in India' is complete bull shit. It is a false narrative spread by a desperate administration that failed the student community on every front.
Each of these students actually qualified NEET and are admitted into foreign medical colleges based on a NEET rank.
NEET is a joke played on Indian students. For 2021, the qualifying marks were 138 out of a possible 720 marks.

GLANCE AT THIS TAKE:
Personally, Im not the wiser...
Greater Russia is now a full-spectrum commodity superpower, less vulnerable to sanctions than Europe itself.
The West’s pain threshold is about to be tested – Fortress Russia will endure this contest of self-reliance more stoically than Europe

In a matter of hours, the world order has turned drastically less favourable for the western democracies.

In August 1990, under the leadership of then PM, VP Singh India executed the biggest peacetime evacuation of Indians from Kuwait....
1990 Kuwait Airlift
In 1990, when 1,00,000 Iraqi soldiers armed with 700 tanks marched into Kuwait, the royals and VIPs had fled to Saudi Arabia. The general public was left behind to fend for themselves. Over 1,70,000 of those stranded in Kuwait were Indians.
On August 13, 1990, 12 days after the invasion took place, India kicked off the evacuation process after diplomatic negotiations. Air India flights brought the first batch of Indians home.
