Noting that “Australia has become one of the popular destinations of Indian students for pursuing higher studies,” the ministry advised the students to carefully apprise themselves of the “ground realities” while going there for the studies as there have been incidents of robbery and assault.
The students have also been asked to get proper insurance from a reputed firm, learn about their legal rights and practice the right kind of behaviour and actions as they represent India in Australia.
Reacting over the Continous attacks on its students in Australia, India on Friday issued guidelines for Students wishing to study there which included immediate registration with the Indian high commission or consulate and seeking details of local security situation.
India emphasised that Australian government should ensure that such attacks are stopped as it was its primary responsibility and noted that Canberra was doing “more than they can” in this direction.
“I think it is a terrible thing that the attacks are continuing. And frankly we would hope that everybody who is in a position to do something about it, primarily the Australian government, will succeed in the efforts to stop this,” foreign secretary Shivshankar Menon told reporters here.
However, he ruled out putting a ban on travel by Indians particularly students to that country, suggesting that the present situation did not warrant it.
