Union Minister of Power, New & Renewable Energy, Minister R.K Singh welcomed back Indian students returning from Ukraine.
“Under Honourable PM Shri Narendra Modi ji’s leadership, our endeavour for everyone’s safe return continues”, Singh said.
Flight carrying 216 students landed in Delhi from Budapest today. Amidst the Russia-Ukraine war, the government of India has rolled out Operation Ganga in a bid to evacuate Indian citizens stranded in Ukraine.
The Indian evacuation flights are operating from the Romanian capital Bucharest and Hungarian capital Budapest.
Ministry of Power had made massive contingency arrangements such as lodging, boarding, transportation and facilitation for onward journey to their respective native place. An exclusive Help Desk was also set up by MOP at the International Arrival Hall of IGI Airport. A dedicated team of 20 officials were deputed at the Airport, who extended a warm welcome to these students with a rose bud and extended necessary support to them.
The comforting added to their confidence and few of them shared their experience in Ukraine, a country where they lived as a student.
Government of India’s initiative to bring them all back infused a new life and hope to reunite with their families. To be back alive amidst their own countrymen and peace seems surreal to many of them still.
