New Delhi/IBNS: As the concerns about evacuating remaining Indian students stranded in war-torn Ukraine are growing given the challenge amid escalated tension, Union Minister Bhupender Yadav on Sunday received 183 Indian students evacuated from the crisis-stricken country.

As part of Operation Ganga, which is India's evacuation mission for its nationals, the Minister said 2,200 Indians are expected to land in India on Sunday.

"Received 183 of our Indian students stranded in Ukraine who returned to the Motherland today.

More than 2,200 Indians are expected to be back home today.

The government is leaving no stone unturned in bringing back its citizens from the conflict zone.
