Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to intervene and ensure that students who had to leave war-torn Ukraine are able to continue their studies in India. Stalin also offered "unstinted support" from the Tamil Nadu government in this regard.
In his letter to PM Modi, the Tamil Nadu CM requested that affected Indian students get to continue their studies in medical colleges in India. While acknowledging the efforts taken by the central government in bringing back thousands of students, Stalin sought to draw to the PM's attention, the emerging vital need to address the "uncertain future" being faced by these students. He said that it will take a long time for normalcy to return in Ukraine's colleges, even after the cessation of hostilities.
