Harjot Singh was shot at while trying to leave Kyiv for Lviv last month.
Harjot Singh, the Indian student who was shot at in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, met Union Minister General VK Singh at an airport in Poland from where he will be flown to India in a special aircraft as part of the government's evacuation programme "Operation Ganga".
General Singh was seen talking to the 31-year-old student, who was on a stretcher, at the airport in Rzeszow.
"Let me assure the country that he is in good hands. The worst is behind him. I look forward to seeing him reunited with his family. Hope he recuperates well and fast," the Minister wrote on Koo, the homegrown microblogging website Koo.
Harjot Singh's flight is expected to land at Hindon Air Base near Delhi at 7 pm. He is among the 200 stranded Indians being brought back from Poland, one of the countries that share a border with Ukraine.
"Harjot Singh has crossed the border and entered Poland. Indian diplomats present with him. He has been shifted into an ambulance provided by Polish RedCross on the border," Puneet Singh Chandhok, president, Indian World Forum, was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
General VK Singh, who oversaw the evacuation operations in Poland, is also expected to take the flight.
The minister, who was one of the four ministers sent as special envoys to Ukraine's neighbouring countries, had informed about Harjot Singh's arrival with a tweet on Sunday.
"Harjot Singh is the Indian who was shot during the war in Kyiv. His passport was also lost in the chaos. Glad to inform that Harjot is reaching India with us tomorrow. Hope there is a speedy recovery with home food and care," the minister's tweet read.

Speaking to ANI, he had also claimed that he had received no help from the Indian embassy. "No support from the Indian embassy yet. I have been trying to get in touch with them, every day they say we will do something but no help yet," he was quoted as saying by ANI.
