In the last 25 years since Madurai-born Somasundaram Subramanian became a doctor, he has built extensive contacts with educational institutions across the former Soviet republic and European Union.
Now, he wants to help students who wish to resettle and continue their studies
The Moscow-based cancer surgeon, educationist and philanthropist began working the phone lines to help evacuate Indian students and other citizens caught in the war zone.
He has worked extensively across the region these last 30 years, especially through the various non-profits he has initiated to fight cancer such as the Eurasian Federation of Oncology (EAFO) in Europe, the EAFO Educational Research Centre in Russia and the Eurasian Cancer Research Council (ECRC) in India.
He has founded the Eurasian Global Peace Mission which aims to offer emergency aid to anyone still left behind in Ukraine as well as resettlement support to students and expats of all nationalities, including Russians who have been expelled from some institutions in the Western nations. Affected persons can register on the website. Soma intends to help students to relocate to other institutions to continue their studies.
