Central government should take steps to ensure completion of degrees of returnees in India: Bhagwant Mann
Out of reach education in India is the root cause of students’ exodus: Bhagwant Mann
Chandigarh, March 1 2022
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab chief ministerial candidate and Member Parliament Bhagwant Mann urged the centre’s Modi government to speed up the process of evacuation of stranded Indian students from Ukraine. Bhagwant Mann said that Centre government’s lax approach and late call is already costing our students too much and we cannot afford to continue at this pace as Indian students are now facing repercussions of India’s UNSC vote stance too.

Bhagwant Mann said that in today’s advisory Indian government asked students to leave Kyiv as soon as possible when they haven’t offered any route plan or means to reach borders. He said that the students stranded in eastern parts of Ukraine are amid intense shelling but centre government is not guiding or telling any escape route to them. Mann said that parents and students are getting anxious and government should arrange transportation and passage for the students struck in eastern Ukraine too.
Mann said that it is very unfortunate that due to the private education mafia our children are forced to leave their homes and study abroad where today they’re struck in a war hit country. He reiterated that Indian education system needs reforms, more state-run colleges and universities should be established and fees should be regulated. Bhagwant Mann said that centre and state governments need to be more serious about this matter and if we want to save our youth and the future of our country, we have no other option but to rein in private education mafia and promote government education system.
Bhagwant Mann asked centre government to form a committee to solve all issues of students who are forced to leave without completing their degrees. Mann said that students are under so much pressure right now, first they have to leave on their own and somehow reach border of neighbouring countries to return India safely and then the uncertainty of their education and future is looming on their heads. He added that centre government, with the help of National Medical commission, state governments and concerned ministries, should take the responsibility for the degrees of effected students. Union government should take steps to ensure the continuation of their degrees and help them adjust in these difficult times.
