The topic of conversation these days is Tarun Pithode's book Operation Ganga, written by a senior IAS official from the Madhya Pradesh cadre. Tarun Pithode has attempted to beautifully capture the successful return, struggle, and difficulties of the Indian youngsters caught in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in this book. When the conflict between Ukraine and Russia first broke out, hundreds of Indian students attending various Ukrainian colleges faced dangers to their ability to safely return home. It would not be simple to defend in the centre of a conflict zone. The Government of India started "Operation Ganga" to bring the kids back safely despite challenges such the pupils being in different places, unverified information about their evacuation circumstances, and the stoppage of air services owing to the conflict. Tarun Pithode has included as much information as possible in his book on the planning of this project, the beginning of its many phases, and the challenges encountered during implementation.

When the book about the map of Ukraine is read and understood, numerous strategic and political stances of the continuing battle may also be understood, in addition to the details of Operation Ganga as they relate to the local geography.. Students residing in western regions that have been largely under threat had to cross the borders of Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland after fleeing the violent conflict in eastern Ukraine's cities of Kiev and Kharkiv.
In a notebook that was later turned into a book, the author documented interactions with hundreds of students, embassy staff, central ministers of the Indian government deployed to these four nations, and individuals who came to lend a hand from various Indian enterprises.
It is difficult to fully comprehend the safe homecoming of thousands of individuals, including not just students but also other Indians who had lived in Ukraine for a long time. In times of conflict, the risk, the desire to go home, and the concern for one's safety abroad all grow significantly. India's efforts to showcase its young were praised throughout the world. The book contains information on Thousand Hands of Helping. Read this now.
