In a bid to promote Hindi globally, India is hosting students of the language from 13 countries, including Australia, Italy, Japan and South Korea. The Hindi scholars would be getting a taste of the culture and heritage of the country during their stay.
The 31 students are on a 10-day visit to India under a special programme of the Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR) called the Hindi Vishwa Yatra.
Under the programme, the ICCR facilitates visits of Hindi-speaking students abroad to India so that they can experience the nation’s culture while interacting with institutions and audiences in the country. The programme typically includes a variety of sessions such as Hindi workshops, meetings with Indian universities and institutions as well as visits to places of cultural significance.
