Centre Of Excellence For Multilingual Studies

Vision :

Multilingualism is the new normal. The Post Covid online world has opened up opportunities that we might fail to realize if we don’t know multiple languages. Multilingual work force has its own advantages in terms of better trade relations and more successful exports. In order to foster global citizenship and a sustainable world, government and educators need to work together to develop a curricula to make multilingualism a reality. We aim to provide a platform to fulfil the linguistic ambitions of learners from diverse backgrounds and vastly different needs.

Justification :

Establishing single centre for the teaching/learning of different languages will prove financially more viable than separate departmentsw it h t he same purpose. A single depart ment w ill save much on infrastructure and it will also be more cost effective. A department offering different languages will make way for comparative studies of diff erent languages/lit erat ures/cult ures. Also, such a cent re may contribute to extension activities in a more effi cient way. With this objective the University has established a Centre of Excellence for Multilingual Studies (CoEMS) with an aim to implement the Prime minister’s vision as manifested in the NEP 2020.
