Ukraine returned medical students have filed a plea in the Supreme Court seeking migration to Indian medical colleges as a one-time measure.
Supreme Court has already asked the National Medical Commission (NMC) to come up with a scheme to accommodate students pursuing medical courses from Ukraine and China in wake of the ongoing Ukraine and Russia war and Covid-19 pandemic. Now, many Indian medical students evacuated from Ukraine have approached the top court with a plea seeking migration to medical colleges in India as a one-time measure.
The petition filed through Advocate Ashwarya Sinha stated that the education of nearly 14000 such students has come to a complete halt due to the ongoing war and through the plea, the medical students have sought migration in the equivalent academic year.
The petition also seeks direction for the Centre to issue necessary directions under the National Medical Commission Act to the Commission to frame guidelines and SOPs in this regard, as reported by India Today.
Other demands of these students
The students urged the top court to formulate guidelines by exercising its jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution of India in light of the extraordinary situation and also provide adequate infrastructural, academic, and financial support for the continuation of medical education of the evacuated Indian students.
Students cited that countries like Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, and Egypt have already accommodated their medical students who returned from Ukraine.
One of the tweets under #SaveUkraineReturns reads, "@narendramodi ji These Are Your Indian Medical Students Who Are Demanding To Accommodate Them In #AdmissionInIndiaOnly At NMC Bhavan @NMC_IND Please Consider This Ukraine Returned Medical Students Needs UR SUPPORT @mansukhmandviya @DrSJaishankar @PMOIndia"
Another tweet says, "Since last 4 months students are running from pillar to post but no result for which all are in mental strain. MODI JI kindly save the career of Ukraine Returned Medical Students by accomodating in India."
