In a significant relief to Indian students, the universities in Poland may consider giving admissions to the Indian students enabling them to finish their studies. The Indian students currently studying in Ukrainian universities face uncertainties over their future as universities are shut in the war-torn country, affecting their studies.
Interacting with 600 Indian students at Hotel Prezydenckie in Rzeszow, Poland, Union Minister Vijay Kumar Singh said, “If your course is not complete, all people I met in Poland said they would take responsibility for the education of all students who were in Ukraine.
Taking to Twitter, the Union Minister said, “Poland and India share centuries of friendship and cordial relations which have brought our people together. I am happy to share with you that Polish universities will be opening their doors to our students from Ukraine so that they can finish their studies. Jai Hind!”

The Union Minister indicated that the Polish universities might come to the rescue of Indian students affected by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis by allowing these students to complete their education out of goodwill towards India.
Amidst ongoing Russia’s special military operations in Ukraine, VK Singh landed in Poland to oversee the evacuation process of Indian nationals from Ukraine on Tuesday. During his interaction with the Indian citizens, he urged the Indians stranded there to monitor the guidelines issued by the Indian embassy in Kyiv and the Ministry of External Affairs.
