Cultural diversity is a principal binding agent for an interdisciplinary education system as well as a greater need for humanity.

The celebration will feature a wide array of local and international music, traditional dance performance from our international students, cultural and traditional presentations of artforms from around the world and an engaging Nukkad Natak drama, a joint performance by our Indian and international students. The event will be inaugurated by Honourable Vice Chancellor, Prof Manoj K Arora. Dr P Naga swetha, Associate Director of IR & HS, will provide an introduction to the Department of International Relations and Higher Studies.

Learn Mandarin Chinese;The only modern pictographic language!
2022-12-07 15:40 - 17:30 | Classroom S-712 – New Academic Block
Chinese culture is more than 5000 years old. Chinese is one of the oldest and richest languages in the world. The only modern pictographic language, Mandarin Chinese, is spoken in almost 13 countries, and about 909 million people use it as their first language.
The Directorate of International Relations and Higher Studies is organising a workshop, Hello Taiwan! 你好臺灣 – Learning Mandarin Chinese and Beyond to connect students with Taiwan and to promote the benefits of learning Mandarin Chinese language. The workshop’s objective is to encourage students to enrol in the Mandarin Chinese Language course as an open elective subject for the upcoming semester. It will introduce the Taiwan Education Center (TEC) on campus, and the courses offered to undergraduates.
Learning a new language is not narrowed to a mere alphabet but is broad enough to dive into the culture, history, politics, arts, literature, and many more characteristics that the language is comprised of. Besides this, learning Mandarin Chinese language can cause significant wonders in one’s career. Companies worldwide prefer aspirants who are bilingual or multilingual in the present day. Many corporations trading with China or having offices in China are looking for people who speak Mandarin. There are tremendous employment opportunities as native speakers who are also Mandarin Chinese speakers are pretty rare.
About the speakers
Ms HsinYi Huang is from Taiwan and working as a Mandarin Chinese Instructor of TEC at SRM University – AP. She will enlighten the students about the centre and the courses. Dr JP Raja Pandiyan, Assistant Professor of the Department of Chemistry, will share his precious experience of pursuing his higher education in Taiwan. He did his PhD in Chemistry at National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan.
Join the workshop to get detailed information on the Mandarin Chinese Language courses and study in Taiwan opportunities.
