The disruption in their studies is likely to continue until cessation of the hostilities and restoration of normalcy in their universities in Ukraine, he said.

“This is an unprecedented crisis that has the potential of disrupting the careers of several thousands of young men and women who have already gone through the trauma of being in the war zone,” the Chief Minister pointed out.

The Odisha CM sought urgent intervention of the Prime Minister with the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the ministries concerned to enable and facilitate continuance of their studies in the medical colleges in India from the stage from where their studies in Ukraine got disrupted.

Patnaik assured the Prime Minister full support from his government for implementing a workable solution for this purpose.
