“The Indian government will take stern action against unscrupulous agents harassing Indian students in Australia.”

Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi who is on a 10-day tour of Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, gave this assurance at a reception in Melbourne, organised by the Federation of Indian Association of Victoria (FIAV).

During his interaction with the Indian community, the minister was informed about the hardship the students faced from unscrupulous Indian agents working as recruiting officers for fraudulent educational institutions in Australia, according to a ministry press release Thursday.

The minister said such practices of unscrupulous agents sully the image of India in Australia and act against promoting educational ties between both countries.
