India’s major evacuation operations-

  • Vande Bharat Mission: Special flights were operated across the globe in this mission to bring back the nationals who were left stranded in foreign countries due to the coronavirus pandemic.

  • Operation Samudra Setu: It was a naval operation launched on May 5, 2020 as part of the national effort to bring home Indian citizens from overseas during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Operation Raahat: Hundreds of Indians and other nationals were rescued under this operation during the unrest at Yemen’s capital Sana’a after the complete takeover by Houthi rebel fighters in January 2015.
  • Operation Safe Homecoming:  The Indian government launched this operation to rescue over 15,000 Indian national stranded in Libya, which was in the midst of a civil war. 
  • Operation Sukoon: As Israel and Lebanon broke into military conflict in July 2006, the Government of India rescued its stranded citizens by launching ‘Operation Sukoon’, which is now famously known as the ‘Beirut Sealift’.  
  • Operation Amnesty Airlift: The mission was carried out in September 1996 to bring back the Indian nationals who did not have valid permits from the United Arab Emirates.
  • Kuwait Airlift: In one of the most massive operations in Indian history, the Indian Air Force joined hands with Air India in airlifting stranded Indian nationals in Kuwait in August 1990.
