At a time when people are trying their best to leave Ukraine, a 37-year-old Indian doctor from Kolkata has decided not to leave the war-torn country. Dr Prithwi Raj Ghosh, who is a doctor and a student consultant in Ukraine, has decided to stay behind to evacuate Indian students.
“I am not stuck here in Kyiv, I am not leaving by choice. I have evacuated almost 350 students from Ukraine. They were my students in Kyiv. The other coordinators who left asked me to help more students who are stuck in various parts, especially in Sumy,” Dr Ghosh told India Today.
As per Ghosh, the ceasefire is for the common people of the country, not specifically for studentsand in Kharkiv almost 2,000 students were able to leave.
While speaking to Ghosh, India Today also spoke to his parents who were scared and proud of him, at the same time. His mother Bratati stated that she prayed to God daily for the safe return of her son and the students.

Father, Pradip Ghosh, was proud and stated that these young students considered Prithwi as an elder brother.
“The students have no one there. They consider him to be their gaurdian. How can he leave?” Pradip said.
While Prithwi says he is merely doing his job.
“My parents are worried. I understand, but it is my responsibility. I promised the parents that I would take care of the students. I faced the crisis during 2013-2014 when I was a bit younger and had done the same. Now, I am more mature to handle this,” he said.
