We are pleased to continue to develop our cordial relationship with the Indian side and look forward to students studying!”
Sharing his thoughts on the city, Mr. Samir Abdul Aziz, stated “Well, this is my first visit to Yoshkar-Ola, and I've been to many cities in Russia, and this city is special. I took a short walk through the streets of the city along the River Embankment, and it was very beautiful. I mean, this place reminded me of some other places abroad. It's such a beautiful place and a very compact and cozy city, and I found out that most of the students, that is, international students in Yoshkar-Ola, are from India. And this is very interesting for me. I had the opportunity to meet with students and what I could hear from them was that this university is the best in terms of the education it provides, I saw it and realized that the students here are very happy. They talked about it publicly in front of the college administration”
The visit highlighted the deep connections between India and Russia, reinforcing the dedication of both Mari State University and the Indian Embassy to support the ongoing success and welfare of Indian students in Yoshkar-Ola.
