The Talibans have taken control over various parts of Afghanistan and the situation is worse. Several Afghan students who were studying in Indian universities and had returned back to their country are now stranded. Stuck in Afghanistan, those students are worrying about their future. In such a case, Indian universities are lending helping hands to their students from Afghanistan and trying to have them back to their respective campuses in order to keep them safe.
Even, IIT Bombay has allowed its Afghan students to return to its Mumbai campus and join the hostels as requested by some students. These Afghan students were studying from their homeland in the online master programmes offered under scholarships by the institute.
IIT Delhi has also setup helpline numbers for Afghan students: +91-9811091942, +91-11-26591713.
