Alliance Française du Bengale (AFdB) and Techno India University (TIU) have formalized their commitment to fostering Indo-French linguistic and cultural exchange with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing the “Franco-Indian Centre of Excellence for Language and Culture”. This partnership marks a significant step in strengthening ties between France and India within the Great Eastern Region.
A key outcome of this collaboration is the launch of AFdB’s Salt Lake Annex, located on the campus of ASMi Business School, a constituent unit of Techno India University. This new center will provide students and individuals living in and around the Salt Lake area with expanded opportunities to pursue their French language studies, fostering both language acquisition and intercultural understanding. The initiative aims to promote French language and culture while simultaneously building academic partnerships between the two nations.
The ASMi Business School campus provides an ideal setting for this endeavor, offering excellent facilities and a forward-thinking environment. Complementing the existing resources of ASMi’s extensive library, a dedicated French Corner will be established, housing a rich collection of books, journals, magazines, and other resources. This dedicated space will enable students to engage with the French language and culture beyond the classroom, enriching their learning experience.
This historic partnership between AFdB and TIU opens new doors for everyone, broadening their global perspectives and equipping them with valuable cross-cultural skills. This joint initiative promises to be a vibrant hub for cultural exchange and academic collaboration, fostering a deeper appreciation for both French and Indian cultures.
