Karnataka medical colleges to accommodate Ukraine returned students
Karnataka Health Minister K Sudhakar has said that the continuation of studies of Ukraine returned students is a top priority and arrangements would be made in the state’s medical colleges to facilitate it.
While the Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that the government is considering measures to reduce the fees for the medical courses in the state, now Karnataka Health Minister K Sudhakar has said that arrangements would be made in the state’s medical colleges to facilitate the continuation of studies of Ukraine returned students.
The minister met a delegation of students who returned from Ukraine. He said during a press conference at Vidhana Soudha “The continuation of studies of the students is the top priority of the government. There has been discussion on academic matters concerning those students. The meeting was conveyed as per the directions of the Chief Minister (Basavaraj Bommai),” as reported by Sambad English.
“The education of these students should not be curtailed. In this backdrop the students who returned from the war-torn country would be accommodated in the medical colleges of the state,” the Minister added.
Govt to select colleges for students returned from Ukraine
There are 60 medical colleges in Karnataka. The state government will ensure that the clinical training must be continued for the students, said the minister.
“Once the students are allowed to continue their education, the government will select the colleges for the students who returned from Ukraine,” Sudhakar said.
The state government will form a five-member committee in coordination with the Central government. The committee will provide inputs about what should be the government’s demands with the Central government as well as the National Medical Council (NMC). The committee would also give a report on the students who have come back to the country after the Covid outbreak in other countries as well, he added.
“We have asked the committee to submit the report in 7 to 10 days,” he further added.
