Indian Students Return From Iran Amid Middle East Disruptions: India’s Evacuation Efforts

Indian Students Return to Delhi From Iran

Several Indian students studying in Iranian universities returned safely to India amid ongoing disruptions in parts of the Middle East.

The students arrived at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, where authorities and family members welcomed them after their journey.

Many of the students were pursuing degrees in fields such as:

• Medicine

• Engineering

• International relations

• Islamic studies

• Persian language programs

Iran has historically been a destination for Indian students because of its affordable medical education and cultural ties with India.

However, recent developments in the region led to concerns among families and prompted authorities to facilitate the return of some students.
