"The Afghan students shared their worries and woes about the current situation in their country. The university authorities patiently listened to their problems which included visa extension, ICCR scholarship, hostel accommodation, financial problems, etc," the varsity said in a statement.

The Vice-Chancellor assured the students that the university will extend all possible help and assistance to them and the DU stands in solidarity with its Afghan students, it added.

“During the meeting, some of the students raised concerns that they are worried as they had come to India on a students visa and their course will now be finishing soon. i aid they were worried, as they had come to India on a student visa and their course was now finishing, which meant their visa would expire and they would have to go home. Then some students are staying in hostels right now, but their course is to get over soon, so they were concerned about their accommodation after that,” the Dean Students’ Welfare Rajeev Gupta said.
