MEA Encourages Indian Students Abroad to Register for Improved Emergency Support

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has launched awareness campaigns urging Indian students abroad to register with embassies to build a comprehensive database. This initiative follows challenges faced during recent evacuations amid global conflicts like Russia-Ukraine and Iran tensions. Currently, India lacks a centralized student database, relying on foreign visa data and embassy estimates. The MEA plans to revamp the existing MADAD portal or create a new platform to improve emergency response and consular support, focusing on countries with significant Indian student populations.
