The dignitaries were felicitated by Air Marshal (Dr.) Pawan Kapoor (Retd.), who motivated the students with his message: “Become independent, become good individuals, and come back as good and effective doctors.” He also acknowledged Ms. Elena Barman, President of the Indian Association of Russian Compatriots, for her contribution in strengthening Indo-Russian ties.
More than 300 students participated in the ceremony, proudly wearing their white coats and stethoscopes to mark the beginning of their medical journey. The program also included interactive sessions with academic leaders, doctors, and alumni, offering practical insights into studying and living in Russia.
The event concluded with Rus Education bidding the students a warm farewell, extending its support from the auditorium to the airport, symbolizing the strong bond it maintains with every student.
With thousands of Indian students choosing Russia for affordable and high-quality medical education, Sobraniye 2025 once again highlighted Rus Education’s role in shaping futures and strengthening Indo-Russian educational relations.
