BRS leader K T Rama Rao assures legal assistance for Telugu students studying in United States

Hyderabad: As Indian students continue to face uncertainty over the heightened scrutiny by the present dispensation in United States, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has come forward to stand by those facing difficulties due to the Trump administration's new rules and restrictions for foreign students.

BRS working president and former Minister K T Rama Rao who is in the US said that legal support will be provided to Telugu students facing difficulties in US.

KTR on Tuesday interacted with students studying at the University of Texas at Dallas where he responded to several questions raised by them. He emphasised that many students come to the US for higher education with great hopes, and if they unknowingly make mistakes due to a lack of awareness, the United States wing of the party would work to provide the necessary legal assistance.

He acknowledged the emotional toll students have to face if asked to return to their home country due to such situations which not only affects them but their families too. Hence, he said, a decision was made to support them.

KTR also advised that students must understand US laws and societal changes and adapt accordingly. Every student should be aware of local laws and social dynamics.

He said going to the US and studying there involves significant effort and expense, but the world is changing rapidly, and many opportunities are now available. He pointed out that US education has become more accessible to many.

KTR urged students to focus not just on ranks and grades but on life goals. Students should not aim only for jobs but work towards bringing positive change in society and the world, the BRS leader said.

KTR highlighted that innovation is happening globally, and India must compete with other countries in this domain. He encouraged Indian students studying in US institutions to focus on innovations.

He cited KCR’s life as proof that dreams come true when one takes risks. He mentioned how KCR, at 40, considered young in politics gave up positions to fight for the creation of Telangana. Many ridiculed him at the time, but after 14 years of persistent struggle, he succeeded in achieving statehood, earning praise from all sections of society.

KTR answered several student queries and encouraged them to return to India after their studies and start their own companies.

Despite numerous challenges, he reminded them that India has plenty of opportunities. He expressed concern over brain drain and urged Indian youth abroad to contribute to the development of India and Telangana.
