On the sidelines of this meeting, Mr. Nasir Ahmed Shafiq a PHD Our major concern is the extension of visa and renewal of passport, the student told TOI. Some student visas, especially those in the final year, may expire by September, and a visa extension for about six months would be useful. We also request the Indian government to grant Afghan graduate students, work permits and refugee status so that they can overcome their problems, especially financial issues. We hope that the Government of India will provide humanitarian assistance to help the students and researchers who are stranded Afghanistan So that they can come back and do not miss the academic year.
