About Us

Language establishes identity of a nation. Language is also the means of identification, creation, preservation and extension of knowledge. It helps individuals and communities to connect with the world. As a subject, Language attracts many scholars and thinkers to explore its various unexplored dimensions. Many efforts are being made by the government to connect language with the country’s heritage and also promote quality research in the area. The National Education Policy (NEP 2020) also emphasizes on promoting multilingualism and using the power of language in teaching and learning. Supporting these initiatives, the University too is attempting to contribute extensively towards promotion of languages.
