Sri Krishna College hosts Bharatiya Bhasha Internship for 30 Uttar Pradesh students and 2 Professors.

Sri Krishna Arts and Science College (SKASC), Kuniamuthur, Coimbatore, in collaboration with Vidya Bharati Uchcha Shiksha Sansthan and the Central Institute of Classical Tamil, recently organised the second edition of the “Learn Bharatiya Bhasha Internship Programme 2.0”, a 10-day training camp.

The camp focused on the Tamil language, its antiquity, culture, literature, and traditional way of life.

A total of 30 students and two professors from various colleges in Uttar Pradesh participated in the camp.

The formal inauguration ceremony was held on the college campus. Kanagasabapathi, former Chairman of the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), inaugurated the training programme and addressed the participants.

Speaking on the occasion, he said that language serves as a bridge between communities, enabling the exchange of ideas, values, and traditions.

He highlighted Tamil as one of the world’s most ancient languages with a rich literary heritage that reflects the greatness of Indian culture.

He noted that Tamil literature, from the Sangam era to the modern period, has played a significant role in preserving the country’s cultural heritage.

He also emphasised that learning multiple languages enhances problem-solving skills, adaptability, and cultural understanding.

“Multilingualism encourages students, professionals, and the public to gain proficiency in one or more Indian languages beyond their mother tongue,” he added.

Raghunandan, National Organising Secretary of Vidya Bharati Uchcha Shiksha Sansthan and the Guest of Honour, urged the students to actively engage with the richness and diversity of India’s linguistic traditions.

Sundaramurthy, Tamil Nadu Coordinator of the council, explained the objectives and significance of the programme.

Malarvizhi, Chairperson and Managing Trustee of Sri Krishna Institutions, presided over the function and encouraged the participants to learn Tamil with enthusiasm. She stated that Tamil heritage occupies a distinguished place globally and that such programmes promote linguistic unity and cultural understanding among students.

Jagajeevan, Principal of the college, welcomed the gathering and said that students should learn Tamil not merely as a language but as an identity and a symbol of Indian civilisation.

Sundararaman, Chief Executive Officer of Sri Krishna Institutions, faculty members, and students were also present.

Vijayasamundeswari, Vice Principal, proposed the vote of thanks.
