5 Indian Research Centres to Be Set up in Russia

RIA-Novosti - At a meeting between India's Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and indologists and representatives of Russian society in St. Petersburg on Monday, the initiative of Jawaharlal Nehru Centre and the Indian embassy in Russia to set up five Indian research centres in Russia was approved.

The Indian ambassador to Russia and rectors of five Russian higher education establishments, where the centres are to be created (St. Petersburg, Kazan and Far Eastern state universities as well as two Moscow institutes), exchanged memoranda on mutual understanding in setting up those centres.

The centres will engage in teaching history, culture and politics of India, develop special programmes for teaching students and hold scientific and practical conferences.

I think this is a good idea. Russia and India could be good collaborators!

I thought of learning Russian a few months back in Bangalore. No Russian centres are there in the Southern India. It would have helped me a lot if it had been there..

Are you from Bangalore? I would really like to go to that part of the world one day.
