Indian Consul General Jitendra Nath Misra has said that teaching Hindi will be expanded among Vietnamese students nationwide as soon as possible.
The Indian diplomat made the statement at a seminar entitled “Hindi awareness in Vietnam ” held in HCM City on Jan. 25 on the occasion of World Hindi Day (Jan. 10).
Dr Le Tay from the HCM City University of Social Science and Humanities Oriental Studies Faculty emphasised the necessity to set up a Hindi Research Committee and translate cultural works and cultural and historical research from Hindi into Vietnamese and vice versa.
It is necessary to have vivid and practical lectures to attract learners, said the participants, noting that lessons should be combined with extracurricular activities including those in culture and the arts.
India has provided long term scholarships of two years and short term scholarships of two to three months for Vietnamese students and teachers to study in India in order to help them learn more about Indian culture and civilisation, said the seminar.
Apart from upgrading methodology, the Indian Embassy and its Consulate General in HCM City will present Vietnamese graduates to work at Indian companies, said Consul General Jitendra Nath Misra.
Hindi is currently being taught only at the HCM City University of Social Science and Humanities. The Indian Consulate General plans to finance Hindi classes at Tra Vinh, An Giang, Da Lat, Hue and Da Nang Universities./.
