The Ministry of External Affairs shows its support to assist students living abroad.
Apart from this, in the last five years, 57 Indian students have lost their lives in Australia, 24 in Germany, 18 in Italy, 37 in Russia, 18 in Ukraine and 58 in Britain.
In the hope of a better future, many Indian youth have planned to study abroad. Nowadays, there is hardly any institute where there is no long queue of applicants. Students who go abroad to fulfill their dreams should also be warned about the negative aspects of living in some places. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, 633 Indian students have died abroad in the last five years due to various reasons including accidents and violent attacks. That is, on an average, one Indian student has lost his life every third day.
If we talk about the data given by the Ministry of External Affairs, in the last five years, the highest number of student deaths have occurred in Canada (172), followed by America (108). The highest number of deaths due to attacks has also occurred in Canada. Apart from this, in the last five years, 57 Indian students have died in Australia, 24 in Germany, 18 in Italy, 37 in Russia, 18 in Ukraine and 58 in Britain. This list does not end here, rather these deaths have occurred in 41 countries.
Things to keep in mind while living abroad:
As soon as candidates reach their destination, they should immediately contact their Indian Mission. It is mandatory to attend the reception organized by the Indian Mission so that you can meet the officials of your respective Mission. Apart from this, candidates have to register themselves on the Ministry of External Affairs’ Madad Portal: madad.gov.in, so that help can be extended to them in difficult times.
Follow the guidelines of Indian Missions abroad
Keeping in mind the threats and challenges faced by Indian students, the Ministry of External Affairs has issued guidelines. In these guidelines, students have been asked to keep themselves safe from any threat and keep all protective measures with them. Apart from this, officials of Indian missions abroad also visit universities from time to time. Students are also expected to inform the officials if they face any kind of problem.
