The counsellors would submit a detailed report with suggestions to the state government, the Minister said and assured that the government is willing to help the students to pursue their studies in India if the Centre consents. While acknowledging the Centre's efforts in ensuring the safe return of thousands of Indian students,
Chief minister MK Stalin, recently, said given the unprecedented situation in Ukraine, it may not be practically possible for the medical students to return to their colleges to complete their students.
