In his address Mr. Gorbatov noted that with each year the number of people wishing to study in Russia increases. Traditionally with special attention South Indian students take advantage of Medical Universities.

Russian foreign students’ education strategy is essentially to prepare high-level professionals to serve their homeland, their people and society. Despite the fact that Russian graduates are highly skilled and practicing successfully in most cases, in recent years, there observed a tendency to increase regulatory measures, which is a part of the discrimination against graduates of Russia and CIS countries. He stressed that Russian diplomatic structures and the RCSC hereafter will give their full support to the Association.
