Interested in Experiencing, Understanding India?
You may already know a thing or two about India and are looking for a deeper understanding of the subcontinent.
What’s your idea of India – sacred cows, Ravi Shankar, spirituality, bullock carts or  a region of growing economic and political importance to the entire world?
Want to enhance your knowledge. Then the details below may be of use to some of you atleast.
Kansas State University has received a two-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education to enhance K-State offerings in South Asian studies. The Title VI grant under the Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language Program will help K-State develop a proposed interdisciplinary secondary major in South Asian studies and will expand faculty and student opportunities in South Asia across all colleges. A four-semester sequence of Hindi language classes is included in the project. Michie said they hope to have the secondary major approved by the university and the Kansas Board of Regents by the end of the 2010-2011 academic year.
The planned secondary major would not only add Hindi language classes. It also is designed to create 14 new or revised courses with a focus on South Asia and adds experiential programs in India like study abroad programs, joint projects, internships and volunteer opportunities for undergraduate students. K-State faculty across all disciplines will have opportunities to revise their courses, travel in India and create relationships for study or research.
