Over 200 J&K Students Among 300 Indian Medical Aspirants Facing Uncertainty in Bangladesh
Srinagar, June 23, KNT: Dr. Mohammad Momin Khan, Health Activist, former AIMSA Vice President and former FAIMA leader, on Monday expressed concern over reports suggesting that the associated teaching hospital of Addin Women’s Medical College, Bangladesh, has lost its license, potentially affecting the academic and clinical training of nearly 300 Indian medical students enrolled at the institution.
In a statement, Dr. Khan said that according to information received from students, more than 200 of the affected students belong to Jammu and Kashmir and are facing uncertainty regarding clinical postings, internship training and the continuation of their medical education.
He said the reported development has caused anxiety among students and their families, many of whom have invested substantial financial resources and years of effort in pursuing medical education abroad.
Dr. Khan urged the Government of India, the Indian High Commission in Dhaka and External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar to ascertain the facts surrounding the matter and take appropriate steps to safeguard the academic interests of Indian students studying at the institution.
He stressed the need for timely intervention and clear communication from the concerned authorities to ensure that students do not face academic disruption due to circumstances beyond their control.
Dr. Khan also called for a clear roadmap regarding clinical training, internships and future academic arrangements if the reported developments affect the functioning of the institution.
Expressing hope for an early resolution, he said Indian students studying abroad deserve clarity and protection of their educational interests. [KNT]
