Gurgaon: Abdur Rahim Wardak, a Afghan student who pursued a graduate course at Maharshi Dayanand University in Rohtak, survived at RS 5,000 he had borrowed from a friend.
His classmates also paid for his food.
Dewa Safi, a second year international housing student at the University of Jawaharlal Nehru, was waiting for Rs 95,000 from his parents in Kabul to pay the third semester fee.
But they cannot do much because their bank accounts in the Taliban-ruled country have been frozen.
Rafiullah Rafi from Amity University remained back in Gurgaon even when the second wave of pandemics raged.
Now, his visa has expired, his savings almost dries and he does not qualify for work in India.
Hundreds of Afghan students studying in various colleges and the Delhi-NCR institute and neighboring countries looked at uncertain future.
The ministry of the house has called for a visa direct cancellation which was previously issued for Afghan citizens after the recent airport airport attack.
Their finances are exhausted, their visa is on the expiration threshold and they don’t have a job at hand.
A few weeks ago, several Afghan students had met Haryana Deputy Minister Dusyant Chautala and urged him to extend their visa.
“My father worked for the United Nations in Kabul and I was worried about his safety.
I rarely can connect to him.
I am in the financial crisis and my parents also cannot transfer money because the banking system is frozen there.
I don’t know how I will pay home rent and Course costs.
I begged the Indian government and the JNU government to provide me with a dormitory room and cut course fees, “Safi said.
Because young people all have issued a student visa, they cannot work in India to sustain themselves.
“I was a lucky one to stay in India when my country was in turmoil.
But my fate here is uncertain.
The campus government has convinced all help, but I need guarantees from the government.
I don’t want to leave India, at least no,” Abdur uterine said.
Rafi tried a refugee card from UNHCR, but it would take six months to one year.
Universities claimed to be helpless in disrupting the government’s decision.
However, they ensure all possible help from the tip.
For example, MDU has opened its hostel for all students who find it difficult to manage rent.
“We do everything to help students.
We have asked them to come and live on campus.
Further decisions will be taken based on the direction issued by the Ministry of Home and Government,” said Professor AK Rajan, Dean of Foreign Students at MDU.
Likewise, Amity University also pursues this problem with the government and embassy to get assistance for students.
“Very few students from Afghanistan are in this country now because most classes are being carried out online.
But, we actively pursue this problem with the government and embassies.
We do our best to ensure our students are safe here and get all the help.
But , this is a national security problem and the problem is related to the center.
We did not say on this problem, “General General GS BAL (RETD), Dean of the welfare of students at Amity.
