Union Minister V Muraleedharan has told parliament that 403 Indian students have died abroad since 2018, and that most deaths occurred in Canada.
About 91 Indian national students have died in Canada since 2018, followed by the United Kingdom (48 deaths), the Indian government revealed.
Muraleedharan said that students died due to various reasons, including natural causes and accidents.
The minister said that the government is committed to the safety of every Indian student abroad, addresses individual cases, and works toward preventing any untoward incidents in the future.

"In case there is any untoward incident, it is immediately taken up with the concerned authorities of the host country to ensure that the incident is properly investigated and the perpetrators are punished," the minister said on Thursday.

The junior minister of external affairs also mentioned that heads of mission and senior officials frequently pay visits to colleges and universities to actively engage with Indian students.
