The group will return to Guwahati along with the police personnel On April 25.
It is to be mentioned that with the lockdown in place, the students stranded in Kota had requested the Assam government to bring them back from Rajasthan as they were facing difficulties with food and other necessities.
Although the state government had earlier asked the students to arrange their own transportation, the officials later decided to help them out during this time of crisis.
The state government has also been providing financial assistance to the people of Assam stranded outside the state as well as abroad.
