Description: Amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday interacted with students who returned from Ukraine and blamed previous governments for a large number of Indian students going abroad to pursue medical education. The Prime Minister asserted that India is now working to augment the number of medical colleges so that students can enroll themselves within the country. "If medical education policies were right earlier, then you would not have to go abroad," he said, adding that no parents want their children to go overseas at such a young age. His government is working to correct the past mistakes, he added. While interacting with students from different parts of Uttar Pradesh who have returned from the war-hit Ukraine, Modi also empathised with those students and their families who have expressed their anger, even at him, after facing hardships in Ukraine. "I think it is natural for them to feel angry in this crisis," he said, adding that they have been facing hardships and braving cold. When they are no longer agitated and begin to understand the magnitude of the exercise, they will show their affection as well, the prime minister said, as many students expressed their thanks to him and lauded his government for rescuing them when they had lost all hope. A strong India is the answer to these troubles, Modi said, expressing his sympathies with the students who, he added, had to go through such an experience at a young age. The government has launched "Operation Ganga" to evacuate Indian citizens, mostly students, from Ukraine which has been attacked by Russia.
