If you’re a student from Kerala dreaming of a “Study in the UK” adventure, here’s a healthy dose of encouragement. The High Commission of India in London recently hosted a warm Welcome Reception for newly arrived Indian students — and the tone, message and support offered are meaningful for students and parents in Kottayam and beyond.
On 18 October 2024, the High Commission of India, London, held a reception at India House to welcome Indian students who had just moved to the UK. The event was personally addressed by High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami, who encouraged students to view themselves as ambassadors of Indian talent and culture, even as they pursue world-class education overseas.
The gathering wasn’t just ceremonial — it offered practical support, including networking opportunities with fellow students from India, orientation on living in the UK, talks on mental health and internships, and guidance on the High Commission’s services for student welfare.
What does this mean for students in Kerala? First, it reinforces the message that UK universities and Indian diplomatic missions take Indian students seriously. Secondly, it underlines that beyond prestige, support, network and community matters. For Malayali students, many of whom may move miles from home, knowing there is an ecosystem of support adds value to choosing a UK education.
What this means for you (Kerala / Kottayam-based student or parent):
- Stronger confidence: The reception shows the Indian Government and the UK host institutions are engaged, which gives parents and students extra peace of mind when investing in overseas education.
- Community & support: As you plan your “Study in UK” journey from Kottayam, know there will be opportunities to connect with Indian student networks in the UK, orientation events, and consular support when needed.
