You have to contact indian embassy here to get a new passport and need to go outside US to get visa stamped again

If u r still a student getting it stamped wont be a problem.

Indian embassy will give you a passport with a fee and when you go to India in between your semester attend a nominal VISA Interview and get it stamped

First don't be tensed. Its not gonna be a problem. If u have copies of ur passport and visa carry with u while u get ur new passport. Make sure u inform indian embassy asap

my two friends lost their passport while on F1. they filed police report and got a new passport from the indian embassy and flown back to India. One got visa again secong got refused three times. so Be aware. but they werent genuine student, I mean to say they were in some kind of college which was not good. Hope u understand.
